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

The First-Level Master for Specialisation in Methods and Practices for Strengthening Case Management and Social Support Pathways is offered by the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Department of Human, Social and Health Sciences. It integrates theoretical foundations with a significant experiential component and focuses on case management, social support, and the planning, management, monitoring and evaluation of social services. 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 and is worth 60 credits. The format involves 80% attendance in Cassino and a distance component. The cost is zero, because the programme is funded by the PN Inclusion and Fight against Poverty.

The aim is to strengthen the skills of the multidisciplinary teams of the Social Territorial Areas and municipalities to read emerging needs, design interventions and monitor the impact of social policies. The course is linked to 11 professional profiles. 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.
