The first-level Master in Integrated Psychomotricity in Educational and Prevention Contexts is offered by the Department of Human and Social Sciences of the University of Bergamo.

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 format is weekend, Saturday and Sunday, from 9:00 to 18:00, twice a month, in Bergamo. The master lasts one academic year, is worth 60 credits and costs 3,850 euros. The language is Italian. The 350-hour internship is included in the pathway.

The aim is to train professionals able to apply psychomotor methodologies in educational settings and in the prevention of developmental distress, with skills for interventions in schools, centres and socio-educational services. The career opportunities are psychomotor consultant, professional educator, psychomotor psychologist and trainer of psychomotor therapists. 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.
