Project ideas will be developed through meetings with the teaching staff and then presented to their peers. Approved projects will take off.

Advisors may require students to sit in other courses related to the subject of their project. At the end of the term, project teams will present and exhibit their work in front of a jury composed of the faculty, students and media professionals. |
