Arrangements for academic guidance

Help for Erasmus – It aims to pair foreign students with a student enrolled at the University of Parma (tutor student). Our staff matches the students according to the Departement, countries and languages, it provides with training and tutoring during all the period.
The tutor students gets in touch with the foreign students before their arrival in Parma. They accompanies them to the Erasmus office and help them to find their Departement, to contact their teachers and the coordinator of their Departement. Considering that very often the foreign student arrives in Parma without having any prior knowledge of the Italian language and culture and only few information about our University, Help for Erasmus is an excellent opportunity for both the Italian and foreign students to overcome the difficulties they can find, to practice a foreign language, to discover Parma and their Departements. Knowing that the foreign students can count on an Italian student is undoubtedly very reassuring.
