Advising and guidance

Depending on the stage of the university process at which these activities are carried out, a distinction is made between:

• Advising: carried out before the choice of course of study, it is aimed at future students and offers 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 path are illustrated;
• Guidance: carried out during the university career, it is aimed at enrolled students and is designed to guide them through the courses of study already undertaken, allowing them to establish a better interaction with the structures and the university context;
• Career guidance: carried out close to or after graduation, is aimed at graduates or graduating students and is designed to facilitate their introduction into the working environment.

Advising is carried out through meetings with students and teachers from upper secondary schools, through presentations at schools, presentations and visits to facilities at the Department and through individual meetings. Students are welcomed for summer internships and School-Work Alternation courses. The activity also takes place through participation in University events dedicated to advising (OPEN Day, INFO Day) and events organised by schools and local authorities, dedicated to the promotion of scientific and technological culture.

Guidance is an activity aimed at facilitating students' integration and progress in their education.
Guidance is carried out by both teaching staff members and students of the course.
