Course summary
One of the world's ten most widely spoken languages, Portuguese is estimated to have around 260 million speakers. Alongside English-speaking cultures, the countries in which Portuguese is spoken have had a significant international influence on literature. This joint honours programme aims to develop your critical, analytic, linguistic and creative skills. As well as language learning, you will engage with a broad range of texts in both English and Portuguese, and a variety of approaches to reading.Studying this combination shows an openness to ideas and perspectives other than your own, an essential attribute in many careers and a global marketplace.Many of our graduates started as complete beginners in Portuguese. By the end of the programme, you will be able to demonstrate a range of language skills and crucial intercultural competencies.
PortugueseStudy with us and you will be immersed in an extraordinary range of literature, film, music and the arts from Portugal, Brazil and Portuguese-speaking (lusophone) Africa.Intensive language training, including a year abroad, gives you the opportunity to develop advanced speaking, writing, reading and translating skills in Portuguese.
