The Social Sciences study individuals, groups and institutions in order to understand how societies work and how to respond to the needs of communities. Master's programmes in this area are aimed at graduates in social, educational, political, legal and humanities disciplines who want to acquire applied skills for working in public, private and third-sector organisations.
The programmes include sociology, social psychology, social policy, research methodology, applied statistics, social project design, mediation and conflict management, international cooperation, education and training, immigration and integration, social work, welfare and the organisation of personal services. Lessons combine theoretical analysis, case studies, workshops, group work and internships at public bodies and organisations.
A master's in Social Sciences lets you develop the ability to analyse social phenomena, read data and research, design and evaluate interventions and communicate effectively with different people and institutions. Many paths also strengthen transferable skills such as teamwork, project management, empathy and mediation.
Professional prospects depend on the starting profile and the chosen specialisation and include roles in local authorities, social services, cooperatives and social enterprises, non-governmental organisations, foundations, schools, research centres, international institutions and human resources departments. Some professions, such as that of social worker, require specific qualifications and registration with the professional register, which a master's does not replace.
Population ageing, the transformation of work and growing attention to inclusion are increasing demand for professionals able to read social complexity and design effective interventions.
Many master's programmes are compatible with working life thanks to part-time options, evening or weekend lessons and online paths.
