• Resumen

  • Phases 1 and 2 of the University Orientation Plan (POU) of the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts comprise actions and activities aimed at promoting the personal, social and academic integration of students into university life. This plan is included in the University Orientation Plan of the University of Zaragoza (POUZ), which was implemented in the 2015–2016 academic year. In the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, the objectives of Phase 1 of the POUZ, aimed at new students, are embodied in a set of actions related to academic, social and administrative areas. The objectives of Phase 2, focused on students in the second and later years, are defined in activities scheduled for their guidance and training in academic issues, mobility, work placements or employability, as well as in the implementation of the Tutor Programme. As a result of the faculty’s POU, support and guidance are offered in small groups as part of the Tutor-Mentor Programme, and individually with personal tutorials, in the ten undergraduate degrees the faculty teaches. From the second year onwards, actions are included for student orientation and guidance in the curricular itinerary, in work placements, mobility or employability. The Tutor- Mentor Programme is extremely important during the student’s integration period at the University. During the 2017–2018 academic year, a total of 22 mentors and 35 tutors participated in this programme and they indicated a high level of satisfaction with it. The students also positively valued the activity their mentors and tutors performed, as well as the activities the faculty planned.
