- Avanza Program
The objective of the Avanza Program is to provide additional support to students whose academic results after the first semester have not been satisfactory. With this program, students can improve the situation in the reassessment. It is also aimed at students in higher years that run the risk of being forced to abandon their degree for non-compliance with attendance criteria. Each student can voluntarily join a study group led by another student from second year or above on the same (or a similar) degree. It is an important tutoring support that makes exam preparation more pleasant and helps to prevent getting discouraged while sharing experiences with course mates.
According to the degree you are studying, the Program has certain characteristics.
Check with your Centre for the participation requirements, for both being a tutor and if you wish to join a group and to be tutored.
It is really important to register.
