Department of Education

The Department of Education stands out as a valuable educational and research institution within both the Lazio region and the national context. It has a multidisciplinary approach with a strong commitment to engaging with the territory and the various emerging realities in the socio-educational and cultural fields. The Department offers study and research paths that prepare professionals capable of acting in the fields of teaching, training, education, and social services, in early childhood services, in schools, in personal services, in the third sector and in business. The Department caters to those who wish to engage in their studies and future careers with the new educational demands in contemporary society: from teacher training to intercultural dimensions, from adult education to lifelong learning, from the realm of socio-educational services to the analysis of broader social dimensions of today's reality. The global dimension of cultural and educational phenomena is a constitutive fact of contemporary society and the Department's research develops on this basis to explore its various theoretical, historical and comparative paths from an international perspective. Recent regulatory changes have redefined the terms of university qualification for professionals engaged in the field of education (nursery and early childhood services educators, professional socio-pedagogical educators, pedagogists) and based on these changes, the Department has organized its educational offerings with particular attention to formal and non-formal training processes.  Starting from a range of perspectives, the proposed training paths are aimed at the training of professionals in the fields of education, training, guidance, and social services and include undergraduate degrees, master's degrees, single-cycle master's degrees for teacher training, qualification courses for teaching, and postgraduate courses.
