SERVICES FOR STUDENTS IN THEIR LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL

Open University

"Open University" is an opportunity to allow you to enter the university and talk with faculty and students.

Faculty and student tutors are the facilitators who present the educational offer and the map of services, experiences and activities that characterize university life.

 

Orientation desk

The University provides a front desk where you can request information and clarifications on degree programmes and services.  To welcome students and their families there are professors, university staff and tutors, experienced students enrolled at the University for some time. Here you can pick up university guides and other informational materials on degree programmes, services, economic benefits (scholarships, accommodation and canteens) and opportunities (Erasmus, study and work abroad, sports).

The desk remains open in June, July and September at the Department, in the atrium of the central clock building (ground floor).

 

A day as a university student

To understand what it means to study and attend university, you can choose to spend "A day as a student". In agreement with your teachers, you can spend a morning or a

full day at the Pionta Campus, getting to know university students, attending academic lessons - in the morning or in the afternoon - and using university services such as the library.

 

The degree programme enters the classroom

In agreement with the faculty responsible for orientation and tutoring at the Arezzo Campus, you can request to organize meetings in your class to learn more about the training offered, the job opportunities, and the disciplines that characterise the degree programme you are interested in.

 

Interviews with the faculty

Throughout the academic year, professors from each degree programme are available, at set times, for individual interviews with students and their families. Moreover, the Department in Arezzo gives you the possibility to schedule an individual interview by appointment to better define and understand the organisation of the degree programme and the professional opportunities it offers, and to visit the Campus.

 

Internships

The Department offers the possibility to carry out internships in its own facilities, administrative offices and service centres. This activity will allow you an immediate entry into the university world to learn about the characteristics of the instruction offered, in  anticipation of your future enrolment.

 

Workshops connected to the “Alternanza Scuola Lavoro” government programme

These workshops are dedicated to the acquisition of soft skills; they will allow you to learn how to work in groups, solve problems, train yourself in entrepreneurship by finding the necessary information.

 

SERVICES FOR GRADUATING AND GRADUATE STUDENTS
