PLEASE NOTE: The scheduled papers and the dissertation(s) may all relate to one language area or may be spread over different language areas. It is ALWAYS advisable to take at least one scheduled paper with components in the same language as your language papers because the books that you read will feed into your language work, helping your fluency in reading and writing, and extending your vocabulary.
Please also refer to the Faculty webpage on Schedule D (borrowed) papers.
*If you took any of these papers in Part IB, you may not take a written examination in it again in Part II.
All Portuguese supervisions are centrally organised by the Department, with the approval of the relevant college.
All our Portuguese scheduled paper Reading Lists are available on-line.
