What does it train you for?
The Master's Degree in Social Work, Inequalities and Social Vulnerability aims to train professionals capable of carrying out social analyses of the local area, identifying its problems and resources, and of exercising managerial roles within the public administrations or private social organisations concerned in order to deal with the various social situations that arise, proposing appropriate solutions to complex social issues.
What do you learn?
The fundamental mainstay of this course is its interdisciplinary approach, based on a close connection between the professional disciplines related to social services and those of the sociological, legal, political-economic, psychological and philosophical-political spheres.
Within this framework, in addition to the foundational sociological disciplines, particular attention is paid to a number of disciplinary areas due to their importance for the understanding of social processes and the appropriate construction of targeted social policies.
In addition to an internship, students will be required to prepare a thesis as preparation for the final exam.
Preparing a thesis will help the students develop an interdisciplinary approach and integrating previously completed courses with core- and related subjects.
