Second-Level Master in Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Control

The second-level Master in Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Control is offered by the Department of Mental and Physical Health and Preventive Medicine of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli. 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 academic year, is worth 60 credits and is taught in person with a compulsory attendance of 75%. The start is indicated as January 23, 2026 and the end as February 2027, so the edition is already under way.

The aim is to train highly specialised professionals in the management of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control. The career opportunity indicated is a coordination role in hospitals, health authorities and research institutes. 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.
