Master Intervention Et Developpement Social

Université d'Angers, in Angers, France, offers a Master Intervention et Developpement Social taught in French over two years. This field is concerned with social work practice, community development, and the design and management of programs aimed at supporting vulnerable populations and strengthening social cohesion. Typical coursework covers social policy, community organizing, program evaluation, social welfare systems, and the methods used by social workers and project leaders to design and run interventions at the individual, family, or community level. Students also study the institutional and legal frameworks governing social services in France, along with topics such as poverty, exclusion, disability, and aging, depending on the areas of specialization offered. Because social intervention work requires both practical skills and theoretical grounding, the discipline combines sociology, social policy, psychology, and public administration. Graduates from this field commonly pursue careers as project managers or directors within social service organizations, community development officers, coordinators of nonprofit or public programs addressing social exclusion, and consultants supporting local authorities on social policy. Some move into research or training roles connected to the social work sector. The program has an inferred start date in September and is delivered entirely in French, so applicants need strong French language skills to engage with coursework and any fieldwork components. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Located in Angers, a city in western France, the two-year master's degree is intended for students who already hold an undergraduate qualification in social sciences or a related field and wish to move into leadership roles within social intervention and community development.
