Introduction
International relations
Description
In 1974, the first course in International Relations appeared in Brazil. Originally a professional trained in International Relations, the internationalist aimed at a diplomatic career, looking at the international market as an area to be explored by his country's foreign policies.
In the 21st century, with the great opening of global markets, companies are "attacked" by international competition at the same time that they have opportunities to explore new markets. UMC's new International Relations course aims at training a business "ambassador" - the INTERNATIONALIST -, who is responsible for creating and implementing a competitive edge, exploring business opportunities on the international scene for Brazilian companies, alongside this same professional (Internationalist) could be the initial connection of a foreign company that wants to settle in Brazil or even enter the Brazilian market.
The practical part is developed from the first semester with the PIC (Consolidated Interdisciplinary Project) in which the student, working in teams, develops business projects in companies or even researching new business opportunities in the market.

Differentials
Upon completing 40 (2009) years in its main courses in the business area (Administration and Accounting Sciences) UMC once again assumes its role as a leader and entrepreneur in the Educational sector of the State of Sรฃo Paulo.
Adopting the concept of business school (used by the great American universities like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton and Columbia), through an Agreement signed with the Federal Council of Economics, the internationalist formed by UMC, in just a few additional semesters (depending on of the analysis of the Academic Transcript), you can also obtain a diploma in Business Administration or Accounting Sciences.

The international crisis of 2008 once again showed the importance of the Internationalist. Brazil has stood out as a stable and modern country: the main initiatives for new world investments have Brazil as one of the main partners. In this scenario, job opportunities in the area of international business are increasing, with a forecast that the market will continue to grow in the coming years. Both Brazilian and international companies have opened vacancies for internationalists, either as an intern, at the beginning of their career (newly graduated) or full (Junior or Senior).
