The course, which is at the end of the three-year degree in social service, aims to provide students with a competent and complex approach to the issues of social inclusion, in order not only to acquire theoretical approaches and policy models, but also to be able to move between the main databases concerning social security issues. In this sense, the course offers skills both for future professionals of social work, and for master courses, especially in the field of management and evaluation of social services.
