Portuguese
Portuguese is the official language of nine countries across four continents, including Brazil, and is spoken by over 200 million people. Browse our Portuguese modules below and find the right level for you.
Languages for All
These general language modules are open to all students (for credits or not), members of staff, and members of the public.
Available on a semester basis (11-12 weeks), they aim to develop language competence and cultural knowledge for professional and recreational purposes through small group weekly classes and guided independent learning.
Degrees with Portuguese
These modules are for undergraduate students undertaking a BA Modern Languages and Cultures degree with the school.
They are intended to build your proficiency in Portuguese over the years up to a near-native speaker level, taking into account any previous experience of the language you may have, whilst supporting your study of Portuguese culture in other modules.
Please visit the Portuguese Studies website for information on available degrees and culture-related modules.
