Where to start: our advice
Are you thinking of enrolling at university but don't know where to start? Here are eight steps that we think can help you in your choice:
Know thyself:
start with your interests, what you like to do and try to understand your strengths and weaknesses, your skills, your professional aspirations with the help of the Almaorientati orientation questionnaire.
You know the university routes:
consult the educational offer to find out about our university’s degree courses. You will find the degree courses subdivided by Faculty.
The information sheet for each course will indicate whether there is an admission test or an initial preparation test. In the section The university system you will find some information that will help you understand how the degree courses are structured.
Check your preparation:
if your chosen degree course requires an entrance exam or a test to assess your initial preparation, access the test simulator or practise the entrance tests from previous years and prepare yourself for the entrance exams.
Participates in orientation initiatives:
are useful opportunities to learn about the degree courses in each area, the lecturers and teaching facilities, and to take part in university lectures and laboratory activities.
Browse professions:
The “Professions, Employment, Needs” website (professionioccupazione.isfol.it), designed and created by ISFOL, allows you to browse through hundreds of professions existing in Italy, accessible not only with university degrees and described in the knowledge, skills, attitudes required
Come to the information and orientation desk:
if you are confused or would like more information on what is on offer in terms of teaching, courses and related professional outlets, student services and more.
Book an individual orientation interview online:
if you are still in doubt when choosing a course of study, you can get help from the staff of the COSP Incoming Orientation Office, which assists high school students in the transition from school to university.
