How is a semester at NOVA FCSH?

At NOVA FCSH, the school year consists of two semesters: the first runs from September to the end of January. The second from February to May. January and May (there are no classes) are the months where students take final classes exams (not every curricular units have them). During classes, they can do assignments or written tests (depending on academic degrees).

Social Sciences and Humanities Track

The courses of the Social Sciences and Humanities Track usually involve at least two scientific areas and offer different perspectives on crucial problems in the area of the Human and Social Sciences. In the academic year 2023/24 we will offer the bachelor course Political Theory (1st semester). This course will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays (12h00 to 14h00), on Tower A, room 101.
