Advising and guidance

Orientation refers to all the activities aimed at making the future freshman or the student able to plan and manage their learning in a way that is consistent with their personal life goals and making full use of their individual skills and interests in order to achieve full personal satisfaction.

Depending on the stage of the university career in which these activities are implemented, a distinction is made between:

• entry orientation: carried out before choosing the course of study, it is aimed at future freshmen and offers support in identifying the course to undertake based on their interests, expectations and individual aptitudes. In this phase, the various possible scenarios are presented to the future freshman and the alternatives of the university path are illustrated;
• ongoing orientation: carried out during the university career, it is aimed at enrolled students and has the aim of guiding them within the courses of study already undertaken, allowing them to establish a better interaction with the structures and with the university context;
• outgoing orientation: carried out close to or after graduation, it is aimed at graduates or undergraduates and aims to facilitate their introduction into the work context.
