Advising and guidance

The term guidance refers to all activities aimed at enabling the future student or current student to plan and manage their learning in a manner consistent with personal life goals and making full use of individual skills and interests in order to achieve personal fulfilment.
Depending on the moment in the university course when these activities are implemented, a distinction is made between:

• guidance carried out before choosing a degree course, aimed at prospective students and offering support in identifying the course to be undertaken on the basis of individual interests, expectations and aptitudes. In this phase, the various possible scenarios are presented to the future student and the alternatives of the university pathway are illustrated;
• guidance carried out during the university career, aimed at enrolled students and designed to guide them within the degree course already undertaken, enabling them to establish a better interaction with the structures and the university context;
• career guidance, carried out close to or after graduation, aimed at graduates or graduating students and designed to facilitate their introduction into the working environment.
