European Macroeconomics is a module in intermediate macroeconomic theory building upon the level 1 course ‘Introduction to Macroeconomics’ and providing a core foundation for more advanced studies. Its objective is to further develop an integrated macroeconomic approach allowing for students to utilise a general macroeconomic model to analyse and understand the short-, medium- and long-run macroeconomy. The module equips the student with sound theoretical tools and techniques appropriate for discussing contemporary European and global macroeconomic issues. To this end the moudle emphasises the relevance of theory through drawing on it to shed light on what is happening around the world, whether it be European integration (or disintegration) through the single currency project, the global response to the 2008 financial crisis, or the rising economic powers of China, India and Latin America.

Taken over two terms, this is an intermediate course that builds on and consolidates previous knowledge of the Portuguese language. Students will develop skills in listening, reading and translating short literary and non-fiction texts in a variety of registers, including poems, short stories, novels, newspaper articles, and commentaries. Classes explore the conventions of European and Brazilian Portuguese, so that learners can continue to develop their preference for one or the other variant. This module consolidates linguistic ability at Level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), with some aspects of Level B2 also explored. By the end of the second term, students are expected to 





 master complex structures of written and spoken Portuguese; 
 
 
 be able to communicate fluently in a variety of contexts; 
 
 
 deal with most situations likely to arise when travelling to or living in a Lusophone country. 
 



Connections are established with the materials studied on Year 2 PORT* content modules. Cultural aspects of the wider Lusophone world are also discussed, preparing students for the Year Abroad. Self-study over the summer is highly encouraged to ensure that language skills keep improving. Students will have access to a dedicated online platform that will allow them to continue honing their skills in the summer months.
