The course is divided into lectures, meetings, and simulations with the aim of placing the students (enrolled in three-year, master's or single-cycle degree courses), divided by year of study, in the position of (1) being able to identify their own abilities, skills, interests to make informed decisions, not only in the context of university education, (2) provide them with a set of skills necessary for managing their personal life paths. Assessment tests are also provided by Kolbrain.

  • Coaching – supervised by the Rector of the Collegio Nuovo, Paola Bernardi. The service develops throughout the academic year (individual or collective meetings) and aims to accompany and support the students of the Graduate Residence to achieve their study objectives, also with regard to their international and professional projects.
