Inbound guidance: a guide to choosing courses of study
Inbound guidance activities are dedicated to students who are thinking of enrolling at the University of Parma and aim to support them in their choice of university path.
Inbound guidance is carried out through meetings with students and professors from secondary schools, through presentations of study paths at schools or at a distance, through visits to Department facilities and individual meetings.
Orientation activities also involve participation in specific events organized by the University such as OPEN Day, master's OPEN Day and INFO Day in addition to events planned by the Department, second-cycle degree courses, educational institutions and local authorities dedicated to the promotion of scientific and technological culture.
Another way in which guidance is carried out at the entry level is through the testimonials of those who have already finished their curricula in the field of engineering, and who wish to share their experience with those who are approaching that world.
A guidance and information tool has been developed as part of the national project INGEGNERIA.POT for those interested in approaching engineering studies. On the project's website ORIZZONTE ENGINEERING there is an evolving guide to promote a better understanding of the figure of the engineer, its general characters and profiles; several testimonials from graduates in the various fields and sectors of engineering have also been collected.
Secondary school students are also welcomed to conduct summer internships and PCTO pathways.
The guidance guidance activities for the first-cycle degree courses pertaining to the Department are coordinated by the respective delegates:
The guidance guidance activities at the second-cycle degree courses pertaining to the Department are coordinated by the respective delegates whose list can be consulted at the University page under Department of Industrial Engineering Systems and Technologies.
Orientation traineeships for high school students
The University of Parma adheres to the Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation (PCTO) at the request of interested Schools, hosting students who are motivated to have an educational experience through direct operational engagement in one of the various areas of the University. The experience can be particularly useful not only from an educational point of view but also for orientation purposes with respect to the choice of the next university path.
