Curriculum Design
SiPN is designed to serve many different kinds of students. For those who are not yet ready to take all of their coursework in Portuguese, they can still cover their major or general education-type requirements through a wide array of offerings taught in English. Consequently we provide two main types of classes: core curriculum (taught in English) and direct enrollment classes in our partner universities.
Core Curriculum
The core curriculum is designed for students who do not yet feel ready to take their social science or humanities classes in Portuguese. The faculty of the core curriculum are published experts with Ph.Ds in their respective fields, hand-chosen by the academic council of SiPN to teach in our program. Many of them have previously taught or done graduate work in North America or other English-speaking regions. Our core classes also enroll Erasmus and local Portuguese students, for a truly international classroom experience, taught in English.

Direct Enrollment Classes
Direct enrollment classes may be conducted in either Portuguese or English. For example, each semester SiPN provides all levels of Portuguese language courses (A1 – C2) for whichever level you test into. More advanced Portuguese learners have even greater choices and can elect to take all of their coursework in Portuguese through direct-enroll classes at any of the 4 schools in the consortium in virtually any field, providing for a fully immersive experience. For those who are looking for other choices outside our core, the SiPN universities provide hundreds of direct-enroll classes each semester in business, economics, and many other fields, all of which are taught in English and open to participants of SiPN. Nevertheless, for students who need some courses taught in English, SiPN strongly recommends that students take at least 2 courses from among our core offerings.

The master syllabi uploaded here present the Portuguese Language courses at Faculty of Letters (University of Lisbon). However, all SiPN partner universities offer their own Portuguese Language classes based on the same European A1-C2 levels, and syllabi for these are available upon request. Please note that each university may offer slightly different requirements of contact hours and ECTS credits for the language classes, and this is why we state the ECTS above as 4 to 6.
SiPN also offers semesterly intensive classes of Portuguese for foreigners. These are typically worth 12 ECTS (2 semesters worth of credit), but academic calendars and contact hours for these options vary. For more information on intensive options, contact SiPN.
Other Languages Courses
German, Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Spanish, French, Greek, Hindi, Latin, Italian, Japanese, Suaíli, Bulgarian, Czech, Slovenian, Persian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Turkish.
These are typically worth 6 ECTS.

We also offer an internship program that requires an 8-week stay minimum, June and July. (SiPN internships are for academic credit, variable credits, click here for more info on internships).
