This degree combines philosophy with the study of Portuguese (taught from beginners' level), a language spoken in a diverse range of countries around the world. The political importance of countries like Angola and Brazil means that Portuguese speakers are increasingly in demand. The course provides a valuable skill set, ideally tailored to the globalised workplace.


For philosophy, you will study units covering an introduction to philosophy, logic, and realism and normativity.


You will follow a structured language course that takes you from beginners' to degree level in Portuguese and explore the rich literature, cinema, history, thought, politics, and visual culture of Portuguese-speaking countries and communities. You will spend your third year abroad in a Portuguese-speaking environment, extending your language skills and cultural knowledge. To find out more about studying abroad, visit the Centre for Study Abroad.


Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, which results in a vibrant learning environment as staff respond to new research. This course combination offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges and a range of options that will allow you to pursue your own interests.


Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one project supervision. Assessments may include presentations, essays, commentaries, exams, collaborative projects, debates, podcasts, video essays, and dissertations.


As a modern languages student, you will have access to our state-of-the-art Multimedia Centre. You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafes, student newspapers, and talent shows.
