Contents

The Orientation course is designed to support incoming international students in their transition to the academic, cultural, and operational environment of the department and the academy. The course provides practical guidance on navigating institutional structures, including an introduction to the department’s facilities (studios, labs, equipment, and technical support), safety procedures, and booking and reservation systems. Students are familiarized with the curriculum structure, expectations of studio-based learning, and modes of communication with faculty and staff. The course also addresses everyday logistics such as accessing university services, using digital platforms, and orienting oneself within the city and its cultural context. Through guided tours, presentations, and informal meetings, students gain the knowledge and confidence necessary to effectively engage with their studies and integrate into the academic community.
