Orientamento in ingresso e in itinere

Guidance

At the level of the Interateneo Master's Degree Course in Food Safety and Food Risk Management, guidance activities aimed at prospective freshmen will be developed through various activities by the orientation delegates of the Master's Degree Course in Food Safety and Food Risk Management and other course lecturers. The orientation activities will take place at orientation halls organised by the orientation sector of the participating universities. On the occasion of the Open Day, a presentation of the Interateneo Master's Degree Course will be made by the lecturers, using information material relating to the characteristics of the Course and the forecasts for entry into the world of work for Master's graduates. Information desks will also be set up where lecturers, students and tutors will provide detailed information on teaching plans, student services and enrolment procedures. The future freshmen will have the opportunity to visit the facilities and laboratories of the research groups belonging to the participating departments.
In addition, the delegates for orientation and the Education manager will put in place continuous actions for orientation and re-orientation in itinere also by means of ad personam meetings.
Special attention is paid to foreign and non-EU students who request information via e-mail or through the Keystone Academic Solutions platform. Intensive contact and information activities are in place, directing prospective students both to the information on the University's English-language website and, above all, to the course website, which is open only in English and where special orientation FAQs have been posted.
