Bachelor in English and Portugueses Studies

The core objective of the study programme is to provide students who enrol in the course and complete it successfully with a thorough, broad grounding in the respective linguistic, literary and cultural traditions which, in the form of independent curricular units, make up the study programme. Together with this objective, the course aims to guarantee its students a mastery of the competences, techniques, methodologies and skills required: a) through the effective use, in written and oral communicative situations, of their mother tongue and a second language, namely English; b) through the successful confrontation with any situations, from the most simple to the most complex, which may arise from the development of a professional activity within the broad ambit of cultural and linguistic mediation, represented by the multiple facets of what is today called cultural industry (publishing, translation, media communication, cultural heritage,…).
