The study plan, with a duration of 3 years, has a flexible structure that allows the student to orient their curriculum according to their interests and motivation and respond to some specialization needs required for the exercise of their function through the necessary and appropriate adaptations to evolutions, both in the area of Accounting and Finance, or from the Society. The curricular structure of the course includes the Business Simulation unit that replaces the curricular internship.
This course has the advantage of allowing the exemption from internship to candidates for Certified Accountants according to the existing protocol between ESCE/IPS and the Order of Certified Accountants. The main pedagogical objectives to be achieved through Business Simulation are the following: a) To consolidate and integrate the knowledge obtained in the other curricular units of the course, especially those that are more closely related to the exercise of the professions for which the course qualifies; b) To provide the student with a practical view of these professions, integrated in the normal development of the curricular plan of the course, seeking to cover the basic needs that ensure an easier approach to the world of work and a better understanding of the professional problem; c) To provide an ethical experience in the profession and in business, developed in an environment of simulation of the business reality.
