For centuries, both Scottish and Portuguese-speaking (Lusophone) cultures have had a significant international influence on literature. Today, alongside English, Portuguese is one of the world's ten most widely spoken languages. 

This joint honours programme aims to develop your critical, analytic, linguistic and creative skills. As well as language learning, you will engage with a broad range of texts in English, Scots and Portuguese, and a variety of approaches to reading. You will also explore the relationship between literary texts and the construction of national, international and imperial cultures. 

We are unique in Scotland in offering students a full academic year abroad within the four-year honours programme, regardless of whether you spend the year studying or working, and you will spend Year 3 in a Portuguese-speaking country. 

Combining the study of Portuguese and literature shows an openness to ideas and perspectives other than your own. When you graduate, you will have the combination of a broad cultural education and the specialist knowledge that employers worldwide value.
