The Specialisation Course is an online course taught in Italian and English and consists of:

• online theory lessons (IUL training environment): 9 modules corresponding to 28 ECTS credits.
• a final in-class examination for a total of 2 ECTS credits.

The in-class workshop will take place at the Sacred Art School in Viale della Catena, 4

Le Pavoniere – Parco delle Cascine – 50144 Firenze (FI), starting fromMay 17, 2021 to November 30, 2021.

Online modules are delivered in an e-learning environment characterized by the IUL training model which is flexible and custom-built on the students’ previous knowledge and experience. It includes lectures and interactive teaching (forums, e-tivity, etc.) for each module.

Online teaching for each ECTS credit is structured as follows::

• 1 h lecture: audio or video recordings, web-conference lessons (online meetings, also referred to as “synchronous”), pre-structured courseware or similar (i.e. any material structured for educational purposes and offered in web environments of various types);
• 5 h of interactive teaching: didactic interventions by the teacher or tutor addressed to the class or part of it for additional demonstrations or explanations (FAQs, mailing lists, forums), brief interventions carried out by the students in forums, blogs and wikis, e-tivity (individual or collaborative) carried out by the students and feedback of it;
• 19 h of self-learning (individual and autonomous study).

This model includes assisted learning throughout the training, both by the teachers and the disciplinary tutors who are experts in the field, and a path tutor for transversal support.

Students must produce a work of art agreed upon with one of the teachers of the Master in one of the three specializations offered and present it in its content, materials, and techniques at the end of the training course.

All tests scheduled in each module must be completed to access the final exam.

The final exam will take place at IUL’s Florence office, located in Via M. Buonarroti 10, 50122 Florence, or at the Sacred Art School in Viale della Catena, 4, Le Pavoniere – Parco delle Cascine – 50144 Florence.

The final grade will be based both on the dissertation and on the evaluation marks of the ongoing tests of each module.

The Specialisation course (30 ECTS) is an online course and lasts one academic year for a total of 750 hours of study.
