Teaching Methods
The teaching model and the evaluation regime of this unit are organized in a way to ensure a solid articulation between its theoretical and applied components. In addition to the theoretical-practical classes, the practical work developed by the students, along the continuous evaluation regime, has as its objective the study of a public policy, or of a specific instrument or domain of action of public policy, analyzing their level of exposure, integration and or articulation resulting from international relations.
In terms of pedagogical innovation, it is worth highlighting the fact that this academic year, the practical work that was prepared by the students under the assessment system for this curricular unit was presented publicly at the university, as part of a conference on the theme "Public Policies and International Relations", which was organised for this purpose as part of the Public Policy 2030 Conference Cycle of the UMPP - Public Policy Monitoring Unit.
