The Degree Programme in Medicine and Surgery and the Degree Programme in Dentistry are once again organising an introductory meeting dedicated to students enrolled in the Open Semester.

The meeting will take place on Tuesday, 1 September, starting at 9:00 a.m., in the Aula Magna of Building H3. Once the maximum capacity of the Aula Magna has been reached, Room 3B in the same building will also be opened and connected to the Aula Magna via video link. The meeting will end by 11:00 a.m. to allow regular classes to take place as scheduled.

The meeting can be attended either in person or online via Microsoft Teams, using the dedicated link.

The meeting will provide students with an overview of the main features of the Open Semester and introduce them to the programme coordinators and deputy coordinators, teaching staff, admissions and student orientation staff, tutors, and technical and administrative staff.

In addition to presenting the mission of the Degree Programmes and the overall organisation of the Open Semester, the following resources and services available to students will be illustrated:

• Dedicated Open Semester website: https://lauree.units.it/it/0320107304200001/semestre-aperto
