Portuguese Scheduled Papers in Part IB
All students
Please note that one of your Part IB Scheduled Papers may be submitted as a Portfolio of Essays. Please refer to the Faculty's Part IB list of Scheduled Papers to see which ones will be available this year under the Portfolio of Essays scheme.
Ex-Beginners of Portuguese (Part I Option A students)
You must choose at least one of the Part IB Papers listed below, but you may choose up to three, depending on the choices you make in regard to your other language (for example, if you choose to take a third scheduled paper instead of the Prose/Audiovisual in your post A-level language).
Post A-level Portuguese but ab initio in another language (Part IB Option B Portuguese with Option A in another language)
You may take one or two of the Papers listed below, depending on the choices you make in regard to your other language (for example, in addition to the scheduled paper which you must take in your beginners' language, you may choose to take, say, one scheduled paper plus Prose/Audiovisual in Portuguese, or two Portuguese scheduled papers and no Prose/Audiovisual).
Post A-level in both your languages (Part IB Option B students in both languages)
You may take any three scheduled papers from the full range available at Part IB. Assuming you wish to take Portuguese Papers, you may choose up to three of the Papers listed below.
* If you sat this paper at Part IA, you may not repeat the same paper at PIB.
** Please note that if you choose any of these papers in Part IB you will not be able to take them again in Part II where they are available too.
+ Please note that although it is technically possible to study paper Pg 4 in Part IB, this paper is better taken at Part II. Paper Pg 1 should be completed before a student undertakes Pg 4.
All Portuguese supervisions are centrally organised by the Department, with the approval of the relevant college.
All the Portuguese scheduled paper Reading Lists are available online.
Paper Pg 3, Introduction to the Language and Literature of Portugal, Brazil and Portuguese-speaking Africa, is available to MML students in Part IB and Part II. Paper Pg 3 will not, however, be available to candidates who have previously offered Portuguese as one of their languages in Part IA or B or have a Certificate or Diploma from the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages in that language. Please note that no candidate may offer more than one of Papers Du. 5, Gr. 3, Pg. 3, Sp. 10, Sp. 15 or Uk. 1 in any one year, and that if you take Pg3 in Part IB you will not be able to take it again in Part II.
