THEOLOGY III

Notes on the Educational Activities chosen by the student

The internship is spread over the second/third year, but is conceived as a unitary path subject to a single final validation with the release of a total of 10 ECTS; Any special cases will be taken into consideration by the competent bodies. Those who want to work in educational services for children will have to carry out an internship "of which at least fifty percent of the hours of direct internship carried out at the educational services for children referred to in Article 2, paragraph 3 of Legislative Decree no. 65 of 2017". The student will be able to choose between three different possibilities:

  • Clinical Psychology (M-PSI/08) - 5 ECTS
  • Pedagogy of Emotional Life (M-PED/01) - 5 ECTS
  • Youth History (M-STO/04) - 5 ECTS

in order to comply with the acquisition of the 55 ECTS required by law, they must include in their study plan: Clinical Psychology.

dividing them, indifferently in the second/third year, between an annual course and a semester or between three semester courses.

Among the courses already included as electives, as an alternative to each other, by the study plan set out above, the Faculty recalls in particular that the courses of Elements of Civil and Criminal Law of the Family and Minors and of Animation Theatre are especially significant for the preparation of some professional profiles provided for by the degree course.

 

The Faculty also points out that the choice cannot concern courses of gruaduate degree programmes, even if they are supernumerary, except for the courses of the first three years of the integrated five-year/six-year degree programme in Primary Teacher Education that do not include workshop activities and do not present reiterations of content with the courses already carried out by the student.

 

Notes on the Internship

The internship is spread over the second/third year, but is conceived as a unitary path subject to a single final validation with the release of a total of 10 ECTS; Any special cases will be taken into consideration by the competent bodies. Those who want to work in educational services for children will have to carry out an internship "of which at least fifty percent of the hours of direct internship carried out at the educational services for children referred to in Article 2, paragraph 3 of Legislative Decree no. 65 of 2017". The student will be able to choose between three different possibilities:

Carry out 350 hours of internship, of which:

  • 50 hours of indirect internship
  • 150 hours in childcare
  • and 150 hours in personal services or training settings. 

In this case, the student acquires 14 ECTS (10 curricular and 4 supernumerary):

FV1206 – INTERNSHIP 10 ECTS + RHP816- 4 ECTS (supernumerary)

 

Carry out 250 hours of internship, of which:

  • 50 hours of indirect internship
  • 200 hours in childcare

In this case, the student acquires 10 curricular ECTS :

FVP815 - Internship 10 ECTS (0-3 years)

 

Carry out 250 hours of internship, of which:

  • 50 hours of indirect internship
