Support and guidance

Each academic year, ULL centers implement Guidance and Tutorial Action Plans (POAT) for their degree programs to provide students with support and guidance systems once they enroll.

The training activities included in the POAT address various topics that aim to facilitate students' academic and professional decision-making at different stages (welcome and integration into the center and the university, guidance throughout the degree and for their incorporation into the labor market), which will allow them to successfully complete the degree and adapt to new demands: autonomous learning strategies, teamwork, improvement of academic performance results, resolution of difficulties, information and advice on external internships and final degree projects, guidance on existing mobility programs, demands and characteristics of the labor market, etc.

By enrolling at the ULL, first-year students can participate in their school's POAT, benefiting from:

  • The training and information activities provided throughout the degree.
  • Advice from a tutor-teacher, who will support you in your intellectual, academic, and professional pursuits.
  • Its recognition in ECTS credits –3 per academic year–, as stated in the Regulations for the Recognition of Credits for Participation in University Activities in Official Undergraduate Studies.

Organization of the POAT

The Orientation and Tutorial Action Plan (POAT) of the Philosophy Section of the Faculty of Humanities at the ULL consists of two parts: study tutoring and information and guidance activities.

Career mentoring: Career mentoring will be conducted by the POAT faculty tutors to advise and monitor the students' learning process. This type of mentoring is aimed at students from the beginning of their studies until they complete them. It is delivered in small groups or individually.

Activities: These are activities of various types and formats aimed at informing and guiding students regarding their training and career prospects, as well as topics of interest, such as scholarships, postgraduate studies, internships, mobility; the resources and tools offered by the Section and the Center, in particular, and the University, in general; the possibilities for student participation in governing bodies and other activities; and the administrative procedures they must complete. This type of activity is aimed at students from the beginning of their studies until they complete them. It is carried out in large groups.

To achieve this, the Section prepares a POAT for each academic year. The plan includes the following sections:

a) The details of the tutor teacher who will be in charge of the new students and the dates of the first contacts.

b) Orientation Activities:

  1. Reception: Open Days, Post-PAU Days, Welcome Days, etc.
  2. Follow-up: dates and leaders of information sessions about mobility programs, internships, final degree projects, etc.
  3. Activities: dates and people in charge of the activities carried out.
