Master’s Degree in Welfare Management and Social Innovation

The Master's Degree in Welfare Management and Social Innovation is offered by the University of Bergamo. The curriculum integrates business-economics and sociological disciplines; two optional pathways allow specialisation in the business-economics area or in the sociological and methodological one. 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 course lasts two years and is worth 120 credits. It is taught full-time in person in Bergamo and the language is Italian. A selection is required. The page gives a Fingerprint score of 7.2 out of 10.

The aim is to prepare students to conceive, implement and manage high-social-impact initiatives in the public, private, non-profit and financial sectors. Related roles are social project coordinator, social impact evaluator, corporate welfare manager, social policy specialist and sustainability project manager. 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.
