Pedagogical Model

The interdisciplinary approach is embedded throughout the entire curriculum, with each of the four modules combining contributions from Law, Education, Psychology and Social Economy.

Classes are delivered in person and/or online, taught by academics and specialists, as well as by professionals from governmental and non-governmental organisations partnering with this Postgraduate Programme, ensuring a learning experience grounded in and informed by real-world practice.

Assessment and Accreditation Model

Assessment consists of four individual essays and a final project assignment.
The final grade for the Postgraduate Programme is composed of the following elements:

  • The average of the grades obtained in the first four curricular units, weighted by their respective credit value (ECTS);
  • The grade of the final project, corresponding to the fifth curricular unit.

The weighting of these components is 60% for the average of the first four curricular units and 40% for the final project.

The programme awards 20 ECTS credits, and a Postgraduate Certificate is granted to students who achieve a passing grade (10/20 or above) in all five modules of the curriculum.
