The training objectives are focused on three central guidelines:


• To support the acquisition of knowledge in social work, including its origin, evolution, theory, field and areas of intervention, within the framework of protection systems and social policy;


• To train social workers for qualified work, in multiple units and levels of activity, directed towards improving the living conditions of population groups in situations of vulnerability;

• To provide a learning process that encourages an intervening, critical and thoughtful professional practice, combined with continuous and regular study and research.
