Abstract

The emergence of Brazilian MP (Vocational Master’s) degrees corresponds to the attempt to bring academic production more in line with working practices, that is, to see things from the point of view of the needs of the employment market. Accordingly, this paper presents the MP’s characteristics, differentiating it from other forms of post-graduate courses in Brazil while seeking evidence in the literature of successful cases representing attempts to bring the academy’s professional environment closer to the working one. A discursive line that runs through the development of legislation, specific features, the tension between the academic and professional axes, the similarities and differences with post graduate non-degree courses, and reports of success was therefore laid out. The paper concludes highlighting the need for further analysis about these courses in order to understand their characteristics and relationships with other training programs, especially post graduate courses.
