Social work and management of welfare services for migration, poverty and disability

In order to facilitate the carrying out of professional teaching activities by off-site students, the Faculty, enhancing the wide and consolidated network of relations with public and private local services, promotes and facilitates the carrying out of the internship in the territorial communities to which the students belong. 

The new programme is designed in blended mode to encourage the enrolment of working students already engaged in welfare services or about to start the world of work.

Specifically, the blended formula translates into:

• between 40% and 50% of remote activities;
• between 50% and 60% of teaching activities in presence.

Each course included in the study plan is delivered according to the aforementioned subdivision, with the exception of internship and laboratory activities, which will be carried out entirely in presence.

For the entire duration of the programme, a high level of student-teacher interaction will be maintained in asynchronous and synchronous mode, also through the use of dedicated methodologies and tools.

The programme has a strongly interdisciplinary character. To integrate theoretical knowledge and methodological-professional skills, the programme is characterised by an articulated proposal of workshops, guided exercises, seminars and opportunities for discussion with social workers, managers, users and family members who are experts by experience.

The internship plays a significant role in the degree process. The internship consists of an experience in which the student offers his or her collaboration to a service, an organisation or a community in order to conceive, organise and implement a participatory intervention project that may focus on the implementation of social work or social research activities.

The internship is carried out with the support of course professors specifically in charge of tutorship functions, who accompany students both individually and through group meetings.

To obtain the Graduate degree, at least 120 university credits must be acquired.
Each exam is awarded a certain number of credits, the same for all students, and a grade (expressed in thirtieths) that varies according to the level of preparation.
The mark awarded in the final examination is expressed in one hundred and tenths.
