A apresentação e o trabalho deverão basear-se numa revisão da literatura focada no tema escolhido, num objeto de análise empírico a apreciar, também, através da comparação com outros casos homólogos de comunicação política. O trabalho pode ainda incidir sobre o desenho de uma campanha de comunicação política com aplicações práticas a contextos eleitorais, de governação ou protesto, acompanhada de uma justificação teórica em modelo de memória descritiva das opções tomadas. Na avaliação por exame final, a nota obtida no exame corresponderá a 100% da nota da UC.
