This flexible joint honours programme enables you to study two complementary European languages in their global cultural contexts.Both languages are among the 10 most widely spoken in the world, opening up career opportunities in Europe, Africa and the Americas.Most of our graduates started as complete beginners in Portuguese. Through intensive language study, including a year abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire the same level of spoken and written Portuguese as you gain in French.In addition to your language classes, you will explore aspects of French-speaking (francophone) and Portuguese-speaking (lusophone) culture. Courses cover literature and cinema, political history, social movements and philosophical ideas.As a world-leading festival city, Edinburgh is a fantastic place to study languages in their cultural context.We are unique in Scotland in offering students a full academic year abroad within the four-year honours programme, regardless of whether you spend the year studying or working.This programme is very flexible. In Years 1 and 2, as well as your core subjects, you will choose option courses from a wide range of disciplines.You will specialise as you progress through your honours years, choosing from a range of courses that match your own interests, expertise and employability needs.When you graduate, you will have the combination of broad cultural education in the arts and humanities, and specialist knowledge of two major languages, valued by employers worldwide.
