The tutorial plan is intended to help students adapt to University life.
- A team will be on hand to welcome and assist students in adapting during the first year of study.
- A course tutor, who will be available to discuss any personal matters, is assigned to each student..
- The tutors offer students advice on academic, personal and/or professional aspects.
Academic tutorials with the teaching staff responsible for each subject will also be held. These tutorials focus on solving students’ doubts and problems with course material and offering orientation in activities and projects.
Your Tutor
You will be assisted by a tutor every year of your degree. They are usually faculty lecturers who teach subjects in your year of study.
Some of your tutor’s duties include:
- Assessing you individually or with a group on academic, personal and/or professional aspects.
- Speaking on your behalf to the Dean’s Office, the Secretariat and other faculty members.
- Leading and cooperating with actions to improve your university years at our Faculty.
Your tutor is the person to turn to when you have any type of problem or question (about your studies, personal matters that affect your academic performance, new ideas for improvement, etc.)

Academic tutorials
Lecturers are responsible for holding academic tutorials on the subjects they teach. These meetings focus on solving doubts or difficulties concerning understanding the subject matter, or guidance and follow up on projects and assignments.
See your lecturers’ office hours and the office number on the academic staff profiles.
Student guidance service
In addition to assistance from your faculty tutors, the university offers you the Student Guidance and Support Service. This service aims to support and assist you in making decisions that affect your academic performance and personal well-being.
The Student Guidance and Support Service also has a psychology section for student consultation. This service is offered free of charge and in full confidentiality. A PhD in Psychology is on hand to discuss all types of problems- emotional, social or academic- as well as your self-improvement and personal development.
Note to students with special educational needs
One of the university’s key duties is to be fully aware of problems within the institution itself and the society we live in. For this reason, specific steps should be taken to boost integration and real equality of opportunity for people with special educational needs. Timely specific action is required to enable them to enter higher education in equal conditions and ensure their full integration in the university community.
