Course programme
Portuguese is taught from beginner’s level (provided that you have some previous successful language learning experience). You will develop your communicative skills of speaking, writing, reading and understanding the spoken word as well as your understanding of Portuguese grammar. This is an intensive language course and has been designed to help you communicate confidently in Portuguese.
Year 2In year 2 you will extend and develop your linguistic skills and build your knowledge of the culture of the Portuguese-speaking (Lusophone) world. You will study a range of topics from both Brazil and Portugal to help you appreciate the variety of cultures influenced by the Portuguese language.
You will also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Degrees in Arts, Life Sciences, Science and Social Sciences.
Year 3 (year abroad)If you progress to Honours it is essential that you spend your third year abroad, in Portugal, Brazil or another Lusophone country. This could be as an exchange student via one of our established channels or by participating in other approved overseas experiences. Support is available when arranging your time abroad.
Years 4 and 5Portuguese is available as a Joint Honours Programme, so that means you will study another subject alongside it in years 4 and 5. When you return from your year abroad, we place a strong emphasis on achieving a high degree of competence in the language. You will take Portuguese as a core language and will have the opportunity to study various aspects of Portuguese-speaking culture and society, as well as developing professional skills in areas such as translation.
