The social worker: solid skills and strong motivation
The professionalism of the social worker requires interdisciplinary training: a broad knowledge base in the psychological, legal, ethical, and organizational fields is essential. The possibility of meeting "experienced users and family members", to have direct testimonies, is another excellence of the Course.
Teaching methodology
The direct participation of students, combined with theoretical courses related to methods and techniques of social work, is planned on several occasions: an introductory internship in the first year, a professional internship in the second, an internship in the last year, seminars and workshops spread over the three years of the course.
And then? A competent figure in situations of social hardship
The Social Worker can work within a public body or a non-profit organization or can practice as a freelancer. The Course's focus on motivation will help to manage situations of fragility related to poverty, child abuse, family conflicts or addictions.
Presentation
The degree course in Social Work Sciences prepares for the profession of social worker by allowing graduates to access the State Examination for registration in the Register of Social Workers.
The training is interdisciplinary, as future professionals will have to deal with complex situations on a human, ethical, legal and organizational level. As this is a course with a high level of personal involvement, particular attention is paid to orientation and motivational accompaniment of students. The profession of social worker requires a constant integration between theoretical knowledge and methodological and technical-practical skills, and therefore particular attention is given to internships, workshops, professional teaching activities, seminars and guided exercises.
The direct participation of "experienced users and family members" in the training of future social workers is an excellence of our degree course in line with international trends.
TO ENSURE CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONS, THE DEGREE COURSE HAS SET UP A TECHNICAL COMMITTEE WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF INSTITUTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN THE FIELD OF SOCIAL SERVICES
