At the University level, various Services are organized to complement and support your student life. To learn more, please consult the section: Infostudenti – Student Information Service.

Each Study Program appoints faculty tutors for each academic year. The tutors are responsible for liaising with students to identify any issues related to the delivery and organization of the study program. Additionally, at the beginning of the academic year, tutors, in collaboration with faculty members and administrative staff, organize a welcome meeting for first-year students to present the Study Program.

The purpose of the Tutoring service is to support students throughout their university journey, helping them overcome any difficulties encountered during their studies. The service offers guidance and assistance to newly enrolled and continuing students through various initiatives and activities promoted by the Study Program.

Faculty members, together with the administrative staff’s Academic Quality Managers (MDQ), also organize additional meetings throughout the academic course to support students’ learning path.

Tutors:

• Sacchi Silvia
• Terova Genciana
