The format
In order to facilitate the carrying out of professional teaching activities by off-site students, the Faculty, enhancing the wide and consolidated network of relations with public and private local services, promotes and facilitates the carrying out of the internship in the territorial communities to which the students belong .
Blended teaching
The new programme is designed in blended modality to encourage the enrolment of working students already engaged in welfare services or about to enter the world of work.
Specifically, the blended formula translates into:
- between 40% and 50% of remotely-attended activities;
- between 50% and 60% of teaching activities in attendance.
Each course included in the study plan is delivered according to the aforementioned subdivision, with the exception of internship and workshop activities, which will be carried out entirely in attendance.
For the entire duration of the programme, a high level of student-professor interaction will be maintained in asynchronous and synchronous mode, also through the use of dedicated methodologies and tools.
Teaching methods, workshops and internships
The programme has a strongly interdisciplinary character. To integrate theoretical knowledge and methodological-professional skills, the programme is characterised by an articulated proposal of workshops, guided exercises, seminars and opportunities for discussion with social workers, managers, users and family members who have gained experience in the field.
The internship plays a significant role in the degree programme. The internship consists of an experience in which the student offers his or her collaboration to a service, an organisation or a community in order to conceive, organise and implement a participatory intervention project that may focus on the implementation of social work or social research activities.
The internship is carried out with the support of programme professors/lecturers specifically in charge of tutorship functions, who accompany students both individually and through group meetings.
ECTS
To obtain the graduate degree, at least 120 credits must be acquired.
Each exam is awarded a given number of credits, the same for all students, and a grade (expressed out of 30) that varies according to the student's level of preparation.
The mark awarded in the final examination is expressed out of 110.
