The course at a glance
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.
