Students support

✅Guidance activities organised by the BSc in Computer Science

The orientation activities of this course are carried out by the Promotion, Orientation and Tutoring Commission.

Stage

Every year, the teachers of our course organise the Computer Science Internship, an event dedicated to high school students to introduce them to the study of Computer Science. The Internship lasts one week and takes place at our department, in Genoa in Valletta Puggia.

The Internship is organised in various complementary stages that include: 

  • seminars by professors, researchers and experts
  • individual and  group work
  • coding and programming
  • learning through specific innovative didactics to improve personal skills and team building abilities

These integrated activities allow participants to apply what they have learnt during the seminars and to develop their problem solving and collaboration skills within a team.
