The Department of Languages, Cultures and Modern Literatures (DLCLM) was established in 2004 and over time has come to incorporate the former Departments of German Studies, Anglo-Portuguese Studies and Romance Studies, all with a long tradition of scientific research in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Nova University.
Structured in accord with the Bologna Process and drawing on the work carried out by its research centres, DLCLM offers courses leading to a Bachelor degree, Master’s degree and Doctoral degree in Languages, Literatures and Cultures (German, Spanish, French and English), Translation courses (Bachelor and Master’s degree courses) and a Master’s degree in Pre-Service Training for teachers of the third cycle of basic (7th, 8th and 9th years) and secondary education (10th-12th years). It also offers a Master’s degree in Teaching English, short-term courses and lifelong learning courses.
As well as taking part in numerous exchange programmes with both European and non-European universities, DLCLM is also a participant in the ‘Crossways in Cultural Narratives’ Erasmus Mundus Masters course, subsidised by the European Union. In addition, it promotes professional work placements through protocols with public and private organisations in the area of translation, and awards grants and opportunities for research through its associated research centres.
