Unique in Portugal, the Degree in African Studies responds to the interest in Africa and the intensification of Portugal's and Europe's relations with the African continent. Multidisciplinary training is guaranteed through partnerships with the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning (IGOT), and the Higher Institute of Social and Political Sciences (ISCSP).

Objectives 

The Study Program provides pluridisciplinary scientific training in Social Sciences and Humanities to train specialists in matters related to Africa. The students are expected to acquire tools to face the challenges posed by the labor market in many fields: as advisors of private and public companies; in governmental and international cooperation agencies; in non-governmental organizations for development, cooperation and social solidarity; in institutions related to diplomacy and international relations; in economic, social, cultural and pedagogical activities. The Study Program further contributes to knowledge construction in its different disciplinary domains in order to ensure its continuity at postgraduate level.

Career prospects 
Graduates develop activities in state and international cooperation bodies, in non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs), cooperation and social solidarity; in institutions linked to diplomacy and international relations; in the media; as advisors to private and public companies with interests in Africa, in public and private bodies in the field of culture, and as researchers. Many African Studies graduates continue to study. The course gives access to 2nd and 3rd cycle courses, especially in the areas of African History, Portuguese-Speaking African Literature and Contact Linguistics, among other areas of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
