First-Level Master for Specialisation in Methods and Practices for Strengthening Care Pathways and Social Support

The first-level Master for Specialisation in Methods and Practices for Strengthening Care Pathways and Social Support is offered by the Department of Political Sciences of the University of Bari Aldo Moro. It includes modules on the management of the LEPS (essential levels of social services), anti-poverty initiatives and policies for minors and families, with theoretical-practical modules alternating with applied laboratories. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts one year, is worth 60 credits and is in a weekend format, in person and online, in Bari. The language is Italian, implicit. The cost indicated is 3,200 euros. Parallel entries exist at other universities, such as the one at row 710.

The aim is to qualify and update social workers already active in public bodies, integrating innovative tools and interdisciplinary knowledge in service management. The related professions are social policy analyst, coordinator, disability specialist and social psychology roles. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
