Master in Innovation and Research for Social Work and Social Education
By choosing this study programme, you will gain competences in the management of social services - state-funded or private - and you will also improve your research skills.
Course description
South Tyrol has a long tradition of being attentive to the needs and the well-being of its citizens. At a time in history in which the resources allocated for welfare are increasingly limited, administrators have to combine the effectiveness of social support programmes with their financial sustainability. The goal of this study programme is to train the professionals who will be able to innovate the welfare state. The peculiarity of this course is precisely the development of a framework aimed at developing innovative methods of introduction and management of social services.
Structure of the course
In addition to the disciplines traditionally taught in a Master degree course about the management and policy of the welfare state - such as research methods for welfare policy, values and professional cultures, administrative law, criminal justice and quantitative analysis - this Master degree course allows you to explore more in depth subjects like participatory evaluation of welfare intervention, elaboration, development and assessment of welfare policy and management and valorisation of human resources.
Exchange programmes and internships
At the moment we are partnered with more than 30 universities all over the world and part of a large collaboration network with employers in Italy and abroad where you can undertake your compulsory internship of a minimum of 200 hours.
Career opportunities
Those who obtain a degree in Innovation and Research for Social Work and Social Education can aspire to a management career within the social services in government or private organisations (charities). You will also be able to use your competences as a consultant in the sector of social services and education.
