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 (4 ECTS) | Price: € 230 - all material included
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 student availability)
Annual Portuguese Course (3 + 3 ECTS) | Free for FCH incoming students
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.

The university does not have accommodation for students, but can help them find accommodation
in Lisbon.
