UMD

Welcome all new students of the Plato University of Management and Design! The key goal of the Orientation Week is to make sure that all freshmen are aware of the university rules, procedures, and processes in advance, before they will start their studies together with other students. For example, during Orientation Week, new students will learn how to read the schedule, where to go for help if they need it. In addition to the sessions dedicated to the understanding of the university system, importance of academic honesty, some sessions will be conducted by peer students, who will share with the new students their experiences and show the facilities of the university. We look forward to your active participation as we welcome you to our community. Below you can see the schedule of the Plato UMD Orientation Week.
