Didactic organization

The Master is divided into a one-year course, for a total of 1500 hours, corresponding to 60 credits, between classroom training, distance learning and internship, with this breakdown:

a) teaching activity (lectures, training activities in small groups) e individual study activity for a total of 900 hours (200 hours of teaching and 700 of individual study), corresponding to 36 credits

b) internship activity for a total of 500 hours, corresponding to 20 credits

c) thesis for a total of 100 hours, corresponding to 4 credits.

The teaching activity, with compulsory attendance, is divided into 10 modules, distributed over 10 months within an academic year.
Each didactic module is organized in two days: Friday (morning and afternoon) and Saturday (morning) and will consist of theoretical-practical lessons and any supplementary cultural activities.

ATTENDANCE: Attendance is mandatory  75%. of the amount of hours foreseen for classroom training.

Midterm and final exam

It is anticipated a exam intermediate for each module, which assesses the student's learning level. The methodology for administering the theory exams is determined by the individual instructor, preferably using multiple-choice questionnaires.

Il achievement of the title is subordinate to passing all exams, as well as the presentation and discussion of the thesis.
Failure to pass the required tests only gives the right to issue a certificate of attendance.

Further information on the tests will be provided during the course and/or through the student handbook.
