Support and guidance

Since the 2013-14 academic year, the Physics Section has a Guidance and Tutorial Action Plan (POAT), designed according to the document: “Guidelines for the development, implementation and consolidation of guidance and tutorial action plans for the centers of the University of La Laguna (ULL)”.

The POAT of the Physics section develops each course a series of activities that cover the following aspects:

Information and dissemination of Physics studies among potential students:

It is carried out through the means available to the University of La Laguna:

  • Website of the University of La Laguna
  • Live The ULL Portal which offers information on different university services, including: library, languages, sports, university card, transportation, accommodation, culture, university participation and university extension courses.
  • Information and guidance service (SIO)): is the office intended to inform, advise and guide future students and the university community in general (scholarships, grants, rights and duties, psychopedagogical advice, legal advice, etc.).
  • Open Days, promoted by the Vice-Rectorate for Students, present the academic and service offerings of the ULL to future students.
  • The Faculty of Sciences website in the Degrees section contains a description of the Degree in Physics and the Degree page where you can find the teaching guides for the subjects and other information of interest, including a link to the Student Portal 

In addition, the Physics section, through its Dissemination Committee, organizes a series of activities included in the program:

  • “Get closer to Physics”, which includes:
    • Visits by Physics Department teachers to secondary schools (private or subsidised schools and institutes) to give talks on scientific dissemination and information on Physics studies.
    • Guided tours of the Physics Department facilities for high school students.

Welcome and orientation plan for new students:

  • Welcome day for new students: informative talks about the structure of the studies, department facilities, library, computer rooms, Wi-Fi network, virtual campus, etc.
  • Personalized Tutoring Program carried out by the section's teaching staff. Through this program, each student of the Physics degree has a tutor-teacher who guides and advises him/her. throughout his studies.

 Information and orientation activities plan:

  • Talks on elective subjects in the Degree: To provide information on the different elective subjects in the Degree.
  • Talks on External Internships: To provide information on the particularities of these subjects and on the companies and organizations available for carrying out these internships.
  • Talks about the Final Degree Project: To provide information about the particularities of this subject.
  • Informative talks on the Postgraduate training offer: Masters related to the degree in Physics.
  • Informative talks about the different mobility programs (Erasmus, Erasmus +, SICUE…)
  • Information for job placement: various activities are carried out throughout the course to inform and guide students about the world of work and facilitate their integration into it.
  • Complementary training activities (talks, workshops, round tables) to guide and support students during their stay in the program and in their future job placement.
