Pedagogical planning and coordination of services for children and adolescents

The peculiarity of the Study Plan is the subdivision into Educational Clusters, integrated courses consisting of 3 CFU teaching modules, also multidisciplinary. The amount of ECTS for each Cluster is a minimum of 12 ECTS and a maximum of 21 ECTS.

The individual modules can be followed by students according to their needs and with the support of tutors and lecturers. At the end of each one, there is an assessment and the subsequent issue of an Open Badge, with certification of the skills acquired consistent with the EU-ESCO framework.

The recording and acquisition of the ECTS takes place only upon completion of all the modules of the Cluster. The completion of the Educational Cluster also includes the issuance of a Milestone Badge.

Free choice courses are not part of the Clusters and are not divided into modules, but are still delivered in blended mode. On the other hand, supplementary teaching activities (internships and workshops) take place exclusively in presence with compulsory attendance.
