The Master's in Political Communication is an innovative and unique programme in Portugal. The interdisciplinary syllabus, which combines Political Science and Communication Sciences, is designed to develop skills aimed at understanding the permanent tension between the political field and the media. At the same time, it fosters essential skills for the exercise of professions linked to political communication in a context marked by challenges such as the preponderance of digital media, the spread of fake news, journalistic and/or political manipulation and the deterioration of the public interest.
