Knowing how to put the person at the center

A strong motivation and a vocation for educational commitment are fundamental conditions for those who want to acquire tools and techniques to be used in the field of training. The study plan, which can be customized on the basis of one's aptitudes and interests, allows the student to specialize in one of three distinct professional areas: Services to the Person, early childhood education, and adult training processes.

Teaching methodology

The programme combines lectures with various workshops activities, to which is added the experience of the training internship both in the second and third year: a backbone of the proposed itinerary that allows you to combine theoretical knowledge and practical skills in a professional context.

And then? A professional at the service of the person

Depending on the approach given to the course of study, graduates may play the role of:

educators in socio-educational services run by the public sector or social cooperatives
pedagogical animators or consultants in the field of childcare services (crèches, playrooms, care centres)
Trainer, classroom and on-line tutor, training designer in companies

The programme allows students to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge and skills related to the education and training of the person, in line with the provisions of paragraphs 594-601 of Law 205/17 and Legislative Decree 65 of 13 April 2017. During the degree programme, it is possible to choose exams, workshops and internship experiences aimed at perfecting training in one of the specific sectors of this degree programme, depending on the field in which you want to operate as a professional, from childcare services to adult education. This is a path suitable for those who want to get involved, acquiring wide-ranging knowledge and putting passion and motivation in place: elements that allow, once graduated, to also embark on careers as professionals, consultants and self-employed workers.
