The Master's lessons will be held in the classrooms of the CIRSFID - ALMA AI (via Galliera n. 3, Bologna) from January 31, 2025 to July 12, 2025, on a weekly basis on Fridays, from 11:00 to 13:00 and from 14:30 to 18:30, and on Saturday mornings, from 8:45 to 12:45.

Attendance at classes (in-person and/or remote) is mandatory for 75% of the total amount of lession hours.

At the end of the lessons, each participant will integrate the training pathway with an internship period (curricular traineeship) of three months (full-time, approximately from the beginning of October 2025 to mid-January 2026) at companies and partners having an agreement with the Master, or, subject to the signing of an appropriate agreement, at organisations, companies, professional studios interested in hosting one of the enrolled students.

A customised training plan may be agreed upon.

For those enrolled who request it, it is possible to substitute the internship with a Project Work (drafting of a paper/resume).

There will be intermediate tests on each module and a final test to be held in January 2026, which will conclude the Master's activities.

The lectures and related tests are held in Italian.
