Advising
The degree course in Social Work organises specific advising/guidance activities as part of OPEN DAY, within the facilities where future students will spend their university life. The Open Days also represent an advising/guidance and information opportunity aimed primarily at enrolled fourth- and fifth-year students, but also at first-cycle graduates intending to continue their studies by enrolling in second-cycle degree courses.
At each OPEN DAY, the teaching facility therefore sets up a reception point where interested parties can ask professors/instructors, tutors and students directly for information and take part in presentations of the degree course as well as visit the facilities (classrooms, laboratories, libraries). The activities include dedicated advising/guidance initiatives, with 'simulated' classes and illustrative video screenings. Reference professors/istructors and tutors are present throughout the events, making themselves available for presentations and interviews.
In addition to the activities conducted during the OPEN DAY, the Degree Course in Social Work organises, under the coordination of the Welcome and advising/guidance unit, a series of additional initiatives, including:
- the organisation of advising/guidance meetings for students of the last classes of upper secondary schools, with the participation of professors/instructors of the Degree Course and tutors;
- the publication of the Student's Guide, available on-line on the website of the Degree Course in Social Work, containing educational information;
- the publication of information brochures on the Degree Course;
- the appointment of Degree Course professors/instructors, from whom students may request specific information on the training course and on the recognition of previous careers;
- the organisation of seminar initiatives, dealing with "social work" issues, also with interdisciplinary profiles, aimed at High School students.
