Projects
The course is involved in two pedagogical projects: Integrated Project and Poliempreende.
With regard to the Integrated Project – Leaders for the Future this project is an integral and compulsory part of the training given in some course units (CUs) of the Marketing and Business Communication degree whose main pedagogical aims are:
- To develop students’ ability to apply the theory concepts covered during the course using an integrated approach and to provide them with the opportunity to compare the theories studied with existing professional practices, in order to consolidate professional experience and performance.
- To develop students’ skills in areas considered relevant to the progression and development of their professional activity.
- To provide a practical understanding of business reality, through the formulation of ideas with the potential for becoming business plans.
- To provide students with the tools to design, implement, monitor and manage their own businesses.
- To encourage an entrepreneurial spirit and an ethical and proactive culture, through the implementation of projects that help solve problems and improve organisational processes.
- To develop the capacity for planning and discipline in order to solve problems within the various areas of training.
- To arouse an interest in research as a means of solving problems.
- To encourage and guide students in their search for knowledge and demonstrate the need for self-development throughout their professional career.
With this project, students will also develop work methodologies similar to those used in the workplace and, if the project is successful, they will be able to help promote and enhance Alto Minho and the region’s economic development.
Poliempreende is an activity within the network of higher education institutions (Polytechnic Institutes, non-integrated higher education schools and the polytechnic schools at universities). Its aim, through an ideas and business plans competition, is to assess and give awards to projects developed and presented by students, graduates or teachers of these institutions, or other people, as long as they are part of teams made up of students and/or graduates. The goal is to foster an entrepreneurial culture and boost the development of skills by students, stimulating entrepreneurship and providing professional opportunities through the creation of their own companies.
In recent years, students from the Marketing and Business Communication course have been a regular presence and have even won awards.
