Teaching methods, workshops and internships
The degree programme has a strongly interdisciplinary character. To integrate theoretical knowledge and methodological-professional skills, the programmee 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 experience in the field.
The internship plays a significant role in the degree programme: it facilitates the focus on the thematic area for the dissertation and allows students to experience original and innovative social work contexts and functions. The internship consists of an experience in which the student offers his/her collaboration to a service, an organization or a community in order to conceive, organize and implement a participatory intervention project that may focus on the implementation of social work, social research or middle management activities. The internship is carried out with the support of programme professors/lecturers specifically appointed to tutorship functions, who follow the students both individually and through group meetings.
The format
In order to facilitate the performance of professional teaching activities by off-site students, the Faculty, enhancing the wide and consolidated network of relations with public and private territorial services, promotes and facilitates the carrying out of internships in the territorial communities to which the students belong.
Teaching
The courses are supported through distance learning tools (Blackboard platform), accessible to enrolled students via their personal computer.
