Orientation School
Held annually in February
The Orientation School program is designed for outstanding fourth- and fifth-year high-school students.
The School organises lectures, orientation workshops, seminars, and other activities under the mentorship of faculty and students from the School itself. The aim is to facilitate orientation towards university studies and the various degree programs available, particularly those offered at the University of Macerata. This initiative aims to promote a more informed and high-quality future choice.
The School provides accommodation for Orientation School participants – with priority given to those from outside the region – fostering interaction with students from the School itself, allowing them to experience college life and its formative value. Meals are provided free of charge at the university dining hall.
