Master in Workplace Design and Safety

The Second-Level Master in Workplace Design and Safety is offered by the University of Florence, Department of Architecture. The modules are organised into lectures and laboratories on case studies, with a focus on passive prevention, the BIM approach, coordination between design and safety components and risk analysis under Legislative Decree 81/08. 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 11 months and takes place in Florence in a weekend format: one weekend in person, one remote and one free. The language is Italian. The cost is €3,500, VAT included. The entry gives January 15, 2026 as the start date and December 1, 2025 as the enrolment deadline, so both dates are already in the past.

It awards the Second-Level Master qualification, the certificate of Safety Coordinator on construction sites, module C for RSPP (health and safety officer) and professional training credits for engineers and architects. The aim is to train technicians experienced in the integrated design of temporary and permanent places intended for work activities, coordinating architecture, structures, systems and safety. Career opportunities are the construction sector, public administrations and all places subject to Legislative Decree 81/08. 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.
