Teaching methods, workshops and internships
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 programme: it facilitates the focus of the thematic area for the dissertation and allows students to experience original and innovative social work contexts and functions. The internship consists of an experience in which the student offers his/her collaboration to a Service, an organisation or a community in order to conceive, organise and implement a participatory intervention project that can focus on the implementation of social work or social research or middle management activities. The internship is carried out with the support of course professors specifically in charge of tutorship functions, who follow the students both individually and through group meetings.
The format
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.
Didactics
The courses are supported through distance learning tools (Blackboard platform), accessible to enrolled students via their personal computer.
