Teaching method

The programme is narrative. It has a three-part introduction, which follows the logic of the programme title: MARITIME SAFETY. Its teaching methodologies, as befits the DNA of the faculty, are interactive theoretical-practical classes that involve student participation. In some cases, students may decide to make presentations on the topic of the session, in which case the interaction becomes thicker and multicentric.

Evaluation method

Final work or examination

Subject matter

The teaching of the general theoretical section, which focuses on the problematics of identity, territoriality, and mostly on maritimity, insofar as the definition of political communities is concerned, will allow students to acquire a general conceptual framework that will allow them to begin a critical and theoretical reflection on the construction of human communities and of their identity, by taking as a core the sea and maritime identities. Various concrete examples will be here as focal points, not only in the Atlantic and Mediterranean basins, but also in the Caribbean sea, the Indic and the western Pacific rim. The special section takes the Portuguese and Lusophone cases as its core.. Finally, the applied section, by looking at the different constitutional and imperial cycles in national history, and that will fully enable students to think maritimity while having as their terms of reference the Portuguese and Lusophone political communities and their historical processes
