History

• University education in the Tarragona area goes back to the sixteenth century, when Cardinal Gaspar Cervantes de Gaeta founded a university to teach Grammar, the Arts and Theology, called the Universitas Tarraconensis.塔拉戈纳地区的高等教育可追溯至 16 世纪，当时红衣主教加斯帕尔·塞万提斯·德·加埃塔创办了教授文法、文艺与神学的塔拉科纳大学（Universitas Tarraconensis）。

• That early institution was practically wiped out by the reprisals of Philip V after the War of Succession and by the Nueva Planta decrees, and the region was left without university teaching for more than two centuries.该早期学府因王位继承战争后腓力五世的报复与《新基本法》法令而几乎被彻底废除，该地区其后两百余年没有大学教育。

• University education returned to the Tarragona area only in the second half of the twentieth century, when different paths converged to form the premises of what would later become the URV.直到 20 世纪下半叶，大学教育才重返塔拉戈纳地区，多条办学路径交汇，构成日后罗维拉-威尔吉利大学的前身。

• In 1956 the technical college Universidad Laboral was created by the francoist Ministry of Employment, and its teaching began in 1961-62 with specialties in mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.1956 年，佛朗哥政府的劳工部创办了「劳动大学」（Universidad Laboral）技术学院，其教学自 1961-62 学年开始，设机械、电气与化学工程专业。

• That college depended on the Terrassa School of Engineering, and in 1972 the title of Engineer was changed to Technical Engineer while the Universidad Laboral ceased to depend on Terrassa and dropped its mechanical and engineering courses.该学院当时隶属于特拉萨工程学院；1972 年其「工程师」名衔改为「技术工程师」，学校不再隶属于特拉萨，并停办机械与工程类课程。

• In 1973 the institution became part of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya as its University School of Industrial Engineering, an affiliation that lasted until the creation of the URV.1973 年该机构以「工业工程学院」之名并入加泰罗尼亚理工大学，这一隶属关系一直延续到罗维拉-威尔吉利大学成立。

• In 1971 the Universitat de Barcelona set up local branches of its faculties of Philosophy and Letters and of Sciences in the city of Tarragona, the first university faculties of the modern period there.1971 年，巴塞罗那大学在塔拉戈纳市设立其哲学与文学学院及科学学院的分部，这是该地现代时期最早的高等学院。

• As early as 1972 a request was made to convert these branches into a university college so that they could provide complete first-cycle courses instead of partial teaching.早在 1972 年，当地即申请把这些分部改设为大学学院，以便完整开设第一阶段课程，而不只是部分教学。

• In 1977 medical courses began in Reus, which gave the future university a second teaching city beside Tarragona.1977 年，雷乌斯开始开设医学课程，为日后的大学在塔拉戈纳之外增添了第二座教学城市。

• In 1983 the Spanish Parliament established the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts and the Faculty of Chemistry in Tarragona, two full faculties in the city.1983 年，西班牙议会批准在塔拉戈纳设立哲学与文学学院和化学学院，使该市拥有两个完整学院。

• Finally, in 1991, the Parliament of Catalonia created the Universitat Rovira i Virgili from the university centres already existing in Reus and Tarragona and which depended on the Universitat de Barcelona.最终在 1991 年，加泰罗尼亚议会以雷乌斯与塔拉戈纳既存、原隶属巴塞罗那大学的大学中心为基础，组建了罗维拉-威尔吉利大学。

• The parliamentary decision was dated December 30, 1991, when the Parliament of Catalonia approved the merger of the province's scattered colleges into the new university.加泰罗尼亚议会于 1991 年 12 月 30 日正式通过决议，批准把省内分散的学院合并组建为这所新大学。

• Since then the university has gradually increased the number of courses on offer by creating new campuses such as Sescelades and Catalunya in Tarragona and Bellissens in Reus.此后该校逐步扩大专业设置，先后建成塔拉戈纳的塞斯塞拉德斯（Sescelades）与加泰罗尼亚（Catalunya）校区以及雷乌斯的贝利森斯（Bellissens）校区。

• The university bears the name of Antoni Rovira i Virgili, a writer, historian and politician who held the office of president of the Parliament of Catalonia in exile during the dictatorship.校名所纪念的安东尼·罗维拉·威尔吉利是作家、历史学家与政治家，曾在独裁时期出任流亡中的加泰罗尼亚议会主席。

• The contemporary university took shape as different paths converged, from the labour college of 1956 to the Barcelona branches of 1971 and the Reus medical courses of 1977.这所现代大学是多条路径汇合的结果：1956 年的劳动大学、1971 年巴塞罗那大学的分部，与 1977 年雷乌斯的医学课程。

• The first senate chose the philologist Joan Martí i Castell as the university's first rector, and he held the office from 1992 to 1998.首届大学评议会推举语文学家 Joan Martí i Castell 为第一任校长，其任期为 1992 年至 1998 年。

• In 1994 the Ombuds Office was set up to defend the rights of the university community and to help the institution regulate itself.1994 年设立申诉专员办公室（Ombuds Office），以维护大学共同体成员的权利并推动学校自我规范。

• The rector is the highest academic authority of the university and its representative, and he or she holds all powers that are not expressly attributed to other bodies.校长是大学的最高学术权威与对外代表，凡未明确授予其他机构之权均归校长行使。

• Rectors after Joan Martí i Castell were Lluís Arola i Ferrer from 1998 to 2006 and Francesc Xavier Grau i Vidal from 2006 to 2014.继 Joan Martí i Castell 之后，Lluís Arola i Ferrer 于 1998 年至 2006 年、Francesc Xavier Grau i Vidal 于 2006 年至 2014 年先后任校长。

• Josep Anton Ferré Vidal led the university from 2014 to 2018 and María José Figueras Salvat from 2018 to 2022.其后 Josep Anton Ferré Vidal 于 2014 年至 2018 年、María José Figueras Salvat 于 2018 年至 2022 年担任校长。

• Josep Pallarès Marzal has been rector since 2022, the sixth holder of the office since the Parliament of Catalonia created the university in 1991.Josep Pallarès Marzal 自 2022 年起任校长，是加泰罗尼亚议会 1991 年组建该校以来的第六任校长。

• The university was assembled from preexisting schools and faculties rather than founded from nothing, so its teaching lines carry origins in institutions of 1956, 1971, 1972, 1977 and 1983.该校并非凭空新建，而是以既有学院合并组建，其教学脉络因而可上溯至 1956 年、1971 年、1972 年、1977 年与 1983 年创立的机构。

Academics

• A doctoral programme and lifelong learning courses complete the academic offer, so the university teaches from first degrees through research doctorates to continuing education.除本科与硕士外，学校还设有博士培养项目与终身学习课程，教学层次由第一学位一直延伸到研究型博士与继续教育。

• The published breakdown of the offer gives 58 bachelor's degrees and 58 university master's degrees, the same count on each of the two main levels.校方公布的培养方案口径为 58 个学士学位与 58 个大学硕士学位，两个主要层次数量相同。

• The same breakdown counts 26 doctoral degrees and 22 URV-specific postgraduate degrees, so research doctorates sit alongside the university's own professional qualifications.同一口径还列出 26 个博士学位与 22 个该校自设的研究生学位，研究型博士与学校自有职业资格并行。

• According to the Nature Index, the largest area of high-quality research output from the university lies in the fields of chemistry, the health sciences and the social sciences.据自然指数（Nature Index），该校高质量科研产出最集中的领域为化学、健康科学和社会科学。

• Postgraduate teaching also takes place in the affiliated institutes, since the ICAC runs postgraduate education in classical civilization and culture alongside its research and dissemination work.研究生教学也在附属研究所中进行：ICAC 除研究与知识传播外，还开设古典文明与文化方向的研究生教育。

• The rector, as the highest academic authority, holds all powers not expressly attributed to other bodies, which places academic leadership in a single office.校长作为最高学术权威，行使一切未明确授予其他机构之权，学术领导权因而集中于校长一职。

• Research is conducted both in the faculties and in the affiliated institutes, so the academic map of the university joins teaching centres with research centres.研究既在学院内进行，也在附属研究所中开展，该校的学术版图因而把教学中心与研究机构连为一体。

• The twelve teaching centres and the additional affiliated centres carry the degrees listed in the offer, from the 58 bachelor's degrees to the 22 URV-specific postgraduate qualifications.12 个教学中心与附属中心共同承担培养方案所载的学位，从 58 个学士学位到 22 个校设研究生学位。
