- The study of communication and multimedia, which is addressed to trainee lobbyists, professionals involved in advisory positions in multimedia, advertising and marketing, communication specialists and institutional speakers and representatives.
The specific objectives of these two Pathways can be summarised as follows:
- In the first, to train specialists in analysis and research in communication processes and in the practical and theoretical principles of lexicography, lexicology and the software-supported organization and management of information.
- In the second, to provide professionals with the practical and theoretical training they will need on the various processes of meaning transfer in order to be able to analyse and assess language production in a professional capacity, working in the area of audiovisual communication and advertising and in order to approach their professional task with an understanding of language communication and communicative skill in different registers.
