The degree course in Psychiatric Rehabilitation Technique trains healthcare professionals to undertake activities related to the assessment, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration of people with physical and mental disabilities and psychiatric disorders. The course provides the necessary skills to identify the resources of the family and the socio-environmental context, and the recovery and development programme for the subject in treatment. Students learn how to organise and evaluate the rehabilitation plan as a team. They learn the fundamentals of psychopathology, identify psychiatric rehabilitation needs in different age groups, gender/sex differences, various pathologies and disabilities. The course of study deepens basic biomedical, clinical and professional knowledge, team interaction skills, clinical knowledge and rehabilitation skills in the psychiatric field. The Bachelor’s degree qualifies graduates to work as psychiatric technicians. It gives access to the Master’s degree course in Rehabilitative Sciences of Health Professions (LM/SNT2), and to First-level postgraduate degrees courses.

Content in Italian
Il corso di laurea è un corso ad accesso programmato a livello nazionale. È previsto un test d'ammissione sulla base dei cui risultati avviene l'assegnazione dei posti disponibili il cui numero è definito ogni anno dai dipartimenti di area medica di concerto con la Regione Toscana, sulla base delle effettive richieste del mercato del lavoro. Il test di ammissione, di contenuto identico in tutte le sedi di prova, è predisposto dal Ministero dell'università e della ricerca (MUR).
Le modalità e i contenuti della prova stessa sono definiti dal MUR anno per anno con apposito decreto, dal quale deriva il bando di Ateneo.
Relativamente gli obblighi formativi aggiuntivi (OFA), si precisa che, a partire dai risultati ottenuti nel test di ingresso (equivalente al concorso di ammissione) verranno esaminati i punteggi riportati nelle domande di: biologia, chimica e fisica.
I candidati che avranno conseguito un punteggio, nelle suddette singole discipline, inferiore ad 1/3 del punteggio massimo acquisibile, dovranno prendere visione (sul sito del CDS) del programma d’esame utile a colmare il debito formativo, attraverso modalità di autoapprendimento.
Gli obblighi formativi aggiuntivi, da assolvere entro il primo anno di corso e comunque prima di sostenere l’esame finale della disciplina stessa oggetto di OFA, si intendono soddisfatti avendo sostenuto con esito favorevole il rispettivo test di recupero.
Gli studenti che non abbiano soddisfatto gli OFA non possono essere ammessi a sostenere gli esami del secondo anno del corso di studio.
