English and Portuguese, BA (Hons)

This degree integrates English literature with Portuguese studies, beginning at an introductory level. Spoken across diverse nations, including politically significant Angola and Brazil, Portuguese is increasingly sought after globally. The programme provides an intellectually stimulating experience, allowing students to explore personal interests through a variety of options. Students engage with leading researchers in both fields, developing expertise, research skills, and critical abilities in English and Portuguese texts within their social, political, and historical contexts.The curriculum includes a structured progression in Portuguese language, alongside explorations of literature, cinema, history, and culture from Portuguese-speaking communities. A third year abroad enhances language proficiency and cultural understanding. For English studies, it covers literature from the medieval era to today, incorporating analytical and theoretical approaches. Students culminate with a dissertation integrating both disciplines, supported by diverse teaching methods and assessments. This prepares graduates for global employment, with access to advanced facilities and extracurricular activities.
