Tendo em conta o papel desempenhado por um profissional desta área, esta unidade curricular pretende desenvolver no aluno a capacidade para planificar e estruturar apresentações, participar em reuniões ou mesmo para as liderar.  Será ainda dedicado algum tempo à candidatura a um emprego: carta de candidatura, curriculum vitae e entrevista.

Para que os alunos possam desenvolver as tarefas escritas e orais que lhes são apresentadas com a correção desejada, serão revistas e consolidadas estruturas gramaticais da Língua Inglesa.
