The 30th Portuguese Language Summer Programme, organised by the University of Macau (UM) Department of Portuguese, is now open for applications. The deadline for applications is 14 May. The Portuguese Language Summer Programme was launched in 1986. Over the past 30 years, it has trained nearly 6,000 students from around the world, including mainland China, Japan, South Korea, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Timor, Ethiopia, the United States, Hong Kong, and Macao, with one third of the students being from Macao. In addition to Portuguese classes, the course also includes a variety of interesting extracurricular activities, which are designed to give participants an opportunity to experience the unique blend of Chinese and Portuguese cultures in Macao and to increase their understanding of the historical, social, economic, political and cultural aspects of the city. The course will take place between 18 July and 5 August. It is available at five levels: the beginner’s level, the basic level, the intermediate level, the advanced level, and the superior level.
