Second-Level Master in Theory and Practice of Penal Enforcement

The second-level Master in Theory and Practice of Penal Enforcement is offered by the Department of Law of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli. It is organised in 13 online modules on the theoretical and operational aspects of penal enforcement, with the collaboration of departments of the Ministry of Justice, balancing theoretical foundations and operational skills. Periodic assessments after each module and a final thesis are provided. 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 year and is taught online on Teams, with the possibility of attending in person in Caserta. Compulsory attendance is 75%. The cost indicated is 1,500 euros.

The aim is to train professionals specialised in penal enforcement, with legal skills and practical operational know-how, in public and private contexts and with a multidisciplinary approach. The career opportunities are criminal lawyer, criminal consultant, expert in environmental and tax criminal law, trainer of penitentiary staff, penal mediator, legal psychologist and social policy specialist. 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.
