The Military Naval School has been the only training centre for Navy officers since 1717. It is therefore a higher education institution, and it provides up to 19 different curricula depending on the military framework and the civil or military provenance of the students. However, these curricula respond to two forms of access. The first, called access without qualification, is exclusive to the General Corps and Marine Infantry and allows access to naval and military formation directly, if the cut is exceeded in the University Access Test (PAU) note and a certain level of English and psychophysical aptitude is credited. The training in this access has a duration of five academic courses and at the end of it the students receive two degrees: one degree in mechanical engineering (Bologna), provided at the University Defense Centre (located at the School itself and attached to the University of Vigo), and one second in the Official, both with a teaching burden of 240 ECTS (European credits). The second is access with degree, which allows access to all bodies of the Navy, including Intensification and Engineers, to graduates or graduates of certain university degrees. Its duration ranges from one to two years.
