Portuguese language courses:
The Faculty of Human Sciences offers two Portuguese courses for Erasmus students at the
Catholic University of Portugal (Lisbon):
Intensive Portuguese Course:
This is a 60-hour course, comprising 3 hours a day for 4 weeks in September/October.
A minimum of 15 students is required for the course to take place
(3 hours a day/4 weeks, this may change according to students’ availability)
Annual Portuguese Course:
The annual course begins in September and ends in May/June, with 3 hours of classes per
week:
All lessons are taught in Portuguese, so Erasmus students who do not speak Portuguese will have
difficulty in accompanying the course.
Accommodation:
The university does not have accommodation for students, but can help them find accommodation
in Lisbon.
