Welcome Days for new students
Your first steps at the University of Milan
Are you a first-year student?
Then sign up for one of the Welcome Days that the University organises each year in September and October. You will learn everything you need to successfully start your academic journey.
During our Welcome Days, you will learn more about:
- our student services, including the University Study and Career Guidance Service (a.k.a. COSP, which also provides services for students with disabilities and learning disorders), the student offices, the University Library Service (SBA), the University Language Centre (SLAM), the Teaching and Learning Innovation and Multimedia Technology Centre (CTU), the International Mobility Office, our Quality Assurance services, and the University Sports Centre (CUS Milano);
- our campuses, teaching organisation and course schedules;
- academic support services, laboratories and online learning materials;
- scholarships, housing services and cafeterias.
Our Welcome Days provide information applicable to all degree programmes.
Additionally, each degree programme may have its own induction event.
Check our 2025 Welcome Days programme to find out how to register and attend.
This year, our Welcome Days will take place on:
- 8 September 2025 at 10
- 17 September 2025 at 10
- 1 October 2025 at 10
All events will be held in the Great Hall of the University of Milan (via Festa del Perdono 7) and livestreamed on our orientation website.
Registration is required for both in-person and online attendance and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Only registered participants will be admitted to the in-person event, so accompanying persons must register too.
All events cover the same content.
To register, please follow these steps:
- register to our orientation website (this is a different website from the UniMi portal, so a different registration is required);
- from your profile, sign up for the Welcome Day that is most convenient for you and select your attendance mode (in person or online). Registrations open on 18 August 2025.
Please note that the link to attend online will not be sent to you personally, but will be available in your profile area.

At the beginning of the academic year, several degree programmes run their own induction events to give new students an overview of how their courses are organised.
These events take place at the teaching facilities of the degree programme in question, or at other university venues. They usually consist of presentations by professors, who illustrate the courses included in each programme and their contents, followed by a Q&A session.
Please note that these events are not organised by COSP, but are run internally by each degree programme. To learn more, choose your subject area and then the website of your degree programme.
Here you can find the lists of programme-specific induction events for new students (subject to updates)
