Materials and guides to help you choose

Finding your orientation means learning to ask the right questions, getting to know yourself better, and exploring educational opportunities. The tools gathered on this page allow you to delve deeper into your interests, discover career pathways, learn about degree programmes, and gather the information you need to make an informed choice.

AlmaOrientati is an online questionnaire that helps you reflect on your interests, your aptitudes, and the opportunities offered by university study. By answering a few questions, you can reflect on your interests and receive a personalised profile with useful suggestions to explore study pathways. The questionnaire does not identify the “right” degree programme, but it provides an additional tool to support you in making your choice.

If there is a subject you are passionate about, but you are unsure which university degree programmes are available, you can use Universitaly to search for degree programmes across Italy and compare different educational offerings.

Sometimes the right programme is one you have not yet considered. Exploring our educational offer can help you discover new learning paths. You can also consult the Guida ai corsi di studio, Unifi guide to degree programmes—a tool designed to help you explore our educational offer, compare learning paths, and find the option that best suits your interests.

If you have already identified a programme of interest, or wish to compare several options, check the course units it offers. Open the programme page and review the study plan (piano di study) to find the subjects, learning activities, and the academic path you will follow throughout your studies. Comparing study plans will help you determine which programme best aligns with your interests.
