SCoDeM Smart Community Design and Management

The Post-master’s Programme in Smart Community Design and Management (SCoDeM) is part of the Italian Cluster on “Smart Cities, Smart Communities and Social Innovation” and is aimed at creating the innovative professional figure of the Smart Community Designer and Manager. Such figure is equipped with the methodological and technological skills needed to design, build, coordinate and monitor communities of users engaged in socially impactful projects. Smart Community Designers and Managers can rely on a wide range of interdisciplinary competences, which enable them to manage and consolidate online and physical communities at a territorial and extraterritorial level.
 Smart Community Designers and Managers are greatly in demand on a job market which is increasingly pervaded by a widespread interest in the topics of social innovation and of the involvement of communities by companies, public corporations and nonprofit organisations.

Activities

SCoDeM involves a 1500-hour workload, inclusive of face-to-face teaching (around 10%), laboratories (around 15%), a study period abroad (around 10%), an internship (around 40%), seminars and individual study (35%). 

Attendance

Activities will take place in the period between September 2015 and September 2016. Attendance is compulsory. In particular, students are required to attend at least 70% of the hours related to face-to-face teaching and internship.

Certificate and Credits

Students who have regularly attended activities and passed all the scheduled tests, including the final exam (consisting of a project elaborated under the supervision of one of the professors), will obtain a post-master’s certificate in “Smart Community Design and Management”. 
The attainment of the certificate entitles students to the recognition of 60 ECTS credits.

Target Audience and Admission Requirements

SCoDeM targets people with the most diverse backgrounds (computer science, social sciences and humanities), who are interested in carrying out socially impactful computer science projects with a multidisciplinary approach.
 To apply for SCoDeM, students must have an MSc or an equivalent degree.
 Students who will attain an MSc by October 31st 2015 are also eligible for admission, upon provision of a statement signed by their thesis supervisor, certifying that the MSc will be obtained by the above-mentioned deadline. If selected for the course, such students will figure as admitted with a reservation, until they actually attain the MSc degree.

There are no limitations related to disciplinary fields. Good computer skills are required, ideally gained at university. Moreover, as the course will be taught in English, an adequate knowledge of the English language is a compulsory requirement.


The enrolment on SCoDeM is incompatible with the enrolment on any other study course.

Selection of Candidates and Deadline for Applications

Applications must be submitted online by May 4th 2015 at 1p.m. at
https://webapps.unitn.it/Apply/en/MyUnitn/Home/721/master-uni/scodem2015

SCoDeM has a 4000-euro tuition fee, payable in 2 instalments. This amount is inclusive of a 100-euro place reservation fee, that must be paid within 7 days from the publication of the list of selected candidates. Failure to pay the place reservation fee within the deadline may result in the exclusion from SCoDeM.

Scholarships

12 scholarships are available, that will be assigned to the first 12 students in the list of admitted candidates compiled by the Committee.
Scholarship recipients must pay the 100-euro place reservation fee, but are exempted from paying the remaining amount of the tuition fee and will receive an additional contribution to living expenses.
