This flexible joint honours programme gives you the opportunity to study two different European languages in their diverse cultural contexts.

With a long history of cultural achievement, migration and diaspora, German and Portuguese are your gateway to a great many countries and cultures in Europe, South America and Africa.

Most of our graduates started as complete beginners in Portuguese. You can start your German language learning at a beginner or more advanced level.

Through intensive language study, including a year abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire the same level of spoken and written language skills in both German and Portuguese.

In addition to your language classes, you will explore aspects of German-language and Portuguese-speaking (Lusophone) cultures. Courses cover literature, cinema, history, politics, and languages in themed and comparative contexts.
