Define your professional project: whether you have a precise or vague idea of your ideal career, you can already know in which sector you wish to pursue your studies.

Find out about courses: open house events, fairs, alumni, etc. are all means available to you to gather as much information as possible about the courses you are interested in and, above all, to check which ones meet your selection criteria (selective courses, professional integration, courses, specialties, etc.).
