Portuguese and Russian B BA

Learn two major world languages from scratch and deepen your understanding of the modern world by exploring the history and culture of the nations that speak them on this fascinating 5-year course.

You will have the opportunity to spend two years abroad, with a year in Russia and another in a Portuguese speaking country, which will provide you with invaluable first-hand experience of the languages and let you fully immerse yourself in the cultures of the regions.

The course will provide you with an in depth knowledge of two culturally and historically rich countries that play major roles on the World economic and political scenes. A combination of core and optional modules will give you a firm grounding in both languages while you study the topics that suit your interests including Dostoevsky, the language of the Russian media, national identity and the African Diaspora. You’ll also benefit from the Instituto Camões – the cultural institute of the Portuguese government located on campus and you’ll have access to all its facilities.
