Portuguese

The Centre for Modern Languages has been offering Portuguese language courses since 1988.

The Centre for Modern Languages has been offering Portuguese language courses since 1988. It also organizes the exams for the accreditation of language proficiency in this language.

Here you can find the equivalence between the CLM course levels and those of the CEFR.

The USC Centre for Modern Languages offers Portuguese courses to the university community and interested individuals over the age of 18. These courses are aligned with levels A2 and B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The courses last 50 hours, combining in-person sessions with guided independent work, and are structured on a semester basis.

Completing Portuguese courses at the CLM entitles students to ECTS credit recognition in undergraduate studies.

The A2 level is the basic level. Individuals who wish to take a Portuguese course at this level can enroll directly through the Secretaría Virtual.

Those who have an accredited level at the CLM because they passed a course in the previous semester can enroll directly in the next level.

Individuals who do not have an accredited level at the CLM must first register for a placement test, which is free and conducted in person.

The placement test only authorizes enrollment in the level achieved, but it does not serve as accreditation for the corresponding level according to the CEFR.

If multiple dates are offered for the placement test, it is recommended to attend the first one, as course spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The placement test is free of charge for students.
