The First Online Portuguese Courses Launch on Coursera

The first Portuguese courses from Brazil’s top educational institutions launch today on Coursera. Our Portuguese-speaking learners now have access to free, career-relevant courses from USP, UNICAMP, and the Lemann Foundation. Five courses taught natively in Portuguese focus on subject areas like engineering, accounting, and teaching.

“Portuguese-language content will address the needs of those with limited access to high quality education and offer anyone with an internet connection the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to advance their careers,” said Rick Levin, CEO of Coursera.
