GENERAL OBJECTIVE

PosLin aims to train qualified personnel for professional activities in teaching and research, in addition to strengthening integration with national and international research groups.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

1.Regarding students in training and alumni:
(a) At the Master's level, PosLin seeks to offer opportunities for students to deepen their academic knowledge and develop their research skills in the field of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, by connecting to a research line as well as to centers and laboratories related to the Program. Students are expected to produce a dissertation that demonstrates their ability to systematize knowledge and master the relevant scientific methodology.
(b) At the Doctoral level, the primary goal is for students to develop their knowledge and skills to conduct advanced research in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. Their thesis should make a significant contribution to the development of the field, promoting the advancement of scientific thought. Another goal of the Program is to encourage doctoral students to undertake internships abroad, since exchange between institutions provides broader training, as well as to complete a teaching internship, thus preparing them for future teaching roles.
At both the Master's and Doctoral levels, students are also encouraged to understand the importance of scientific criticism and debate, by promoting the publication of articles and participation in events in Brazil and abroad. These measures aim at more global training, integrated into the academic reality in Brazil.
(c) Regarding alumni, PosLin aims to train professionals capable of becoming faculty members at prestigious universities, dedicated to research and supervising students at the initial Master's level (for recent graduates) and later at the Doctoral level. In addition, they should be able to maintain or create new research groups.
(d) At the postdoctoral level, the Program aims to promote advanced-level studies, providing knowledge updates and training for postdoctoral researchers. It also seeks to strengthen ties between institutions, encouraging the exchange of experiences and knowledge at national and international levels.

2.Regarding professors, PosLin aims to promote and support the development of research, teaching, and extension activities that enable the consolidation and expansion of the Program's research projects and lines, as well as to encourage exchanges between national and international institutions.

3.Regarding the institution, the goal is to contribute to consolidating a leadership profile in training faculty-researchers, through strengthening research lines that are continually enriched by new projects and new researchers.
