Moreover, learning spaces like the experimental agencies and UNISC TV work together with the course, allowing students to participate in all internship programs. Also, every semester, a series of practical actions and events related to their working field are organized by teachers from different areas and aim at bringing students closer to the job market. Part of these activities include professional trips and national and international exchanges.
With respect to the broadcast journalism training, journalists who graduate from UNISC are social mediators and, consequently, responsible for selecting, gathering and spreading ideas, news, events and information clearly. They must also be able to inform, understand and judge through their work in several fields or media as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, websites, weblogs, press consultancy and others.
