Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina

UFSC offers seven different programs in the field of Language and Literature.

Students looking to pursue studies in this field must choose among the following programs: Brazilian Sign Language (Libras); English Language and Literature; French Language and Literature; German Language and Literature; Italian Language and Literature; Portuguese Language and Literature; and Spanish Language and Literature.

Thanks to its multi- and interdisciplinary nature, the French Language and Literature program offers students comprehensive training in both language skills and the ability to reflect on society and interculturality.

In the fifth semester, students make a decision regarding their career path. If they opt for the teaching degree (licenciatura), they must complete a teaching internship in public or private schools. If they choose a non-teaching bachelor’s degree (bacharelado), they will engage in research-focused courses, preparing them for the composition of a final thesis.

French Language and Literature graduates can work in primary and secondary education, as well as teaching in language schools and in preparation courses for university entrance examinations. Other career opportunities include interpreting in meetings and conferences, technical and literary translation, text revision and proofreading, and academic research in Literature and Linguistics.
