Academic Guidance

Academic guidance plays a significant role both in the initial decision-making process for choosing a field of study and in the student’s academic performance within the programs. Every member of the student community receives academic advice and a study planning guidance plan from Academic Advisors, members of the Department of Study Fields, and the Academic Board.

Leveraging their educational, research, and professional experience, the Academic Guidance teams support the student community in educational and career matters, fostering the development and achievement of substantial academic, professional, and personal goals for its members. This support service commences immediately upon enrollment, with specialized teams of advisors assisting with academic coordination, managing course schedules and program requirements, while also guiding students through the online tools of relevant services.
