Each meeting deals with the same topics, so we advise students to participate in the first orientation meeting available after their arrival in Turin. If interested in, students can also participate in more than one presentation. Taking part to the meetings is not compulsory, but it is highly recommended, as students will be informed about the University services and the procedures to be followed during their mobility period (Italian language courses, learning agreement, procedures for exams, extension procedures, etc).
