BA History and Portuguese

at University of Bristol

This course combines the broad historical knowledge and well-developed research skills gained in a history degree with the in-depth cultural awareness and advanced linguistic skills that develop through studying Portuguese, the official language of nine countries.
 

You will join two departments with researchers working in various fields and will be encouraged to develop expertise and research skills relevant to both disciplines while also considering the relationships between them. Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff incorporate new research into their classes.You will follow a structured language course in Portuguese, as well as explore the rich culture and history of Portuguese-speaking countries and communities, choosing from a range of units in literature, film, history, thought, politics, and visual culture. Your third year will be spent abroad where you will have the opportunity to explore historical issues in the distinct cultural and social context of a Portuguese-speaking country while studying or working.
