First-Level Master in Psychopathological Trajectories in Autism Spectrum Disorder

The first-level Master in Psychopathological Trajectories in Autism Spectrum Disorder is offered by the Department of Mental and Physical Health and Preventive Medicine of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli. It focuses on the clinical and theoretical study of psychopathological trajectories in autism, integrating lecture-based and practical teaching activities. It concludes with the defence of a thesis before a committee. 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 compulsory attendance, in Naples. The cost indicated is 3,000 euros.

The career opportunities indicated are child neuropsychiatry, clinical psychology, psychomotor therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. 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.
