Master in Educational Guidance: Educational Models and Practices in Education, Training and Work Contexts

The First-Level Master in Educational Guidance: Educational Models and Practices in Education, Training and Work Contexts is offered by the University of Florence. It is organised into six modules alternating theoretical lessons, laboratory activities and a digital portfolio. It addresses lifelong guidance, educational counselling, the design of personalised interventions and digital tools for consulting. 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 9 months, is worth 60 credits and takes place in Florence in a blended format, with synchronous and asynchronous e-learning and monthly in-person laboratories. The language is Italian, with B2 certification required for foreign candidates. The cost is €1,600. The entry gives October 1, 2026 as the start and September 18, 2026 as the enrolment deadline: both dates are already in the past.

Career opportunities include guidance counsellor, professional educator, trainer, career adviser and training supervisor. 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.
