Accreditation result (in portuguese)Study Program Evaluation
The Bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences aims to prepare professionals who are able to perform a range of functions (some of which are multidisciplinary) in the vast field of communication within organisations (business and institutional communications) and in the
media. The course aims to meet the European challenge to improve human resources in areas heavily marked by information technology and enhance the information and knowledge society by helping to improve the media’s operations and socio-economic and cultural role. The entire course operates within the relationship between communication and technology, starting with a more general view in the first semesters followed by greater specialisation in the 2nd and 3rd years. As a whole, the different course units work like pieces in a harmonious mosaic organised around a central goal: providing a dynamic range of skills to use in professional work or future research.
