Portuguese Language

An Emerging Language of Science, Business and Culture



Over the past recent years, the Portuguese language has started to emerge globally as a language of science, business and culture and its importance has been highlighted in the media and the subject of academic studies with a global impact. The University of Coimbra played a unique role in this regard for many centuries as the only Portuguese language university in the world until the early 20th century.

Internationally recognised by UNESCO as a leading reference in the production and dissemination of knowledge in Portuguese language in the world, UC offers a wide range of Portuguese language and culture courses and develops initiatives and open access projects, which promote the Portuguese as a language of science, business and culture at a global scale and as an element of cohesion and ownership in the Portuguese-speaking countries overseas.
