Objectives

The Seminar, offered during the 2nd semester in the 4th year of the undergraduate degree in Journalism and Communication Sciences and common to all three areas of specialization (Public Relations, Multimedia Communication and Journalism) is designed to provide students with the opportunity for specialized training in a specific domain of Journalism and Communication Sciences. Upon completing this subject, students should be able to apply and complement the theoretical-practical skills they have developed throughout the whole course. It is, therefore, aimed at providing students with their first approach to the labour market.
