Guidance and tutoring
During their university studies, students need to design, manage and implement their own educational project, on which their academic success and future employment will largely depend.
This process requires guidance from the teaching staff, who advise and support the student from their entry into the University, guiding them in matters as important as their integration and adaptation to the Center, the organization of their independent work, the acquisition of skills to face problem-solving, the evaluation of the different sources of information related to their area of study and the knowledge of the different possible alternatives in terms of internships, national and international mobility and professional specialization.
The guidance function thus becomes a necessary extension of the teaching work of the faculty. It is also a fundamental pillar of the quality of university education.
