After the history of Portugal and the Portuguese world, Brazil and PALOP (Portuguese Language Speaking African) countries, we introduce students to the literature of Portugal and the Portuguese speaking countries and offer courses about the different cultural aspects of these countries. In our specialized courses students can get to know the cinema, the theatre, the music and the fine arts of Portugal and Brazil.
Strength of program:
The BA program also accepts students with no prior knowledge of Portuguese, as we have very good language teachers. Our specialty is the close cooperation with the Portuguese Camões Institute and the Galego Language Centre in Budapest, so we can offer possibilities of Portuguese Language Exam and learning Galego and Catalan language and culture.
