Overview

The central core of the Portuguese Studies cycle of studies, formed by mandatory UC, fulfills its main purpose, providing essential subjects in Portuguese Studies. The specialization in one or two of the four main areas (majors in Language, Literature and Culture, History and History of Art) is guaranteed and one or two sub-specialization (minors), which include, among others, Brazilian and African Culture, are permitted. The share of free options gives one the possibility of adapting curricular goals to several educational or professional interests. Valuable basic skills are offered, which give access to research in Portuguese cultural patrimony, and give entrance to the labor market in activities associated with Portuguese culture and its defense and promotion in Portugal and abroad.
