The aim of the course is to provide the student with an introductory but complete picture of the object, purpose and functions of the social service in its professional dimension.

At the end of the course the student has acquired the awareness and the ability to reflect on: a) the social rights of the person and the principles that determine their enforceability, b) the principles of personalization and humanization of the intervention, c) the importance of culture and professional responsibility.
