Support and guidance

Each academic year, ULL centres implement Guidance and Tutorial Action Plans (POAT) to be developed in their degrees to provide students with support and guidance systems once they have enrolled.

The training activities included in the POAT address various topics through which it is intended to facilitate the students' academic-professional decision-making at their different stages (reception and integration into the centre and the university, guidance throughout the degree and for their incorporation into the labour market), which will allow them to successfully complete the degree and adapt to new demands: autonomous learning strategies, teamwork, improving academic performance results, resolving difficulties, information and advice on external internships and final degree projects, guidance on existing mobility programmes, demands and characteristics of the labour market, etc.
