## How to navigate your studies

*[Versione italiana](https://www.unipd.it/come-orientarsi-studi)*

**Choosing a course of study** is a fundamental and challenging step. For this reason, the University supports those who are undecided about their academic and professional future or need information to confirm or reconsider their choice.

To do so, the University provides dedicated staff, a welcome desk, materials to explore the educational offer and employment prospects, orientation initiatives, and preparatory courses for entrance exams.

The Orientation and Tutoring Office:

- Provides an [**in-person and online information desk**](https://www.unipd.it/accoglienza-orientamento) *(in italian)* where you can find information related to teaching, the Galilean School of Higher Education, and the University's services.
- Offers informative materials, such as the new study guide: [**Studia con noi** (Study with us](https://www.unipd.it/en/studying-padua/admission/prospective-students/pathways-course-guides)).
- Organizes specific [**orientation initiatives**](https://www.unipd.it/iniziative-orientamento) *(in italian)*.
- Provides access to the free platform: [Moodle Orientation](https://orientamento.elearning.unipd.it/orientamento/) to consult useful materials for entrance exams and register for proposed initiatives.

If, after acquiring the necessary information, uncertainties remain about choosing between two or more degree programs, you can request:\
[An individual orientation interview](https://www.unipd.it/colloqui-individuali) *(in italian)*, which can be booked online.

In addition, dedicated staff is available to support university students who are experiencing doubts about their chosen path and can, therefore, request:\
[A re-orientation interview](https://www.unipd.it/colloqui-individuali) *(in italian)*, which can also be booked online.
