The training also encourages the continuation of studies for a second cycle in Graphic Design or Audiovisual Production for New Media.
The degree in Communication Design and Audiovisual Production appeared in 1999 with the designation of Bietapic Degree in Arts of Image (3 years Baccalaureate + 2 years Degree), with the branches of Graphic Design and Multimedia and Audiovisual Design. In 2007, the cycle of studies was reorganized in accordance with the Bologna process, adopting the designation of Degree in Communication Design and Audiovisual Production.
The cycle of studies is structured in six semesters, three curricular years, the first of basic training, the second theoretical-practical and the third eminently practical year, in a clear attempt to base, consolidate and apply knowledge and skills in communication design, more specifically in the areas of graphic design, multimedia and audiovisuals.
