Main focus

; This master’s programme provides students with a number of key professional skills so that they can work as managers of social programmes or do research in social problems analysis. Accordingly, students will learn how to apply the knowledge acquired in the programme and will improve their problem-solving skills in the field of social work. They will learn how to communicate the conclusions of their research and cope with the complex issue of making judgments based on information that includes opinions regarding social and ethical responsibilities. Finally, they will learn how to apply the methodological tools used to design and implement social intervention and research projects.

Competences

Students that have completed the second cycle have the following competencies: – Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context. – Can apply their acquired knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study. – Have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments. – Can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously. – Have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.
