Tutoring is designed to guide and assist students throughout their studies and to make them active participants in the learning process by removing any obstacles that might hinder a productive attendance record. Tutoring services are provided in collaboration with those bodies which support the right to education and with student representatives.
The Course of Study has an office dedicated to the University’s Integrated Orientation and Tutoring Service (SOrT), coordinated by the Teaching Coordinator, with the help of student tutors and scholarship recipients. It offers students assistance and advice to help them adjust their educational programme and to provide them with information on the services offered by the University, including psychological counselling. The Course of Study also uses Disciplinary Tutoring to support students in those disciplines in which they encounter greater difficulties, and Teaching Innovation Tutoring to promote innovative teaching approaches based on the centrality of the student.

The Philosophy Library opens its doors on a daily basis to hundreds of students and scholars from every corner of the world and offers, in addition to traditional library services, the most advanced - and continually expanding - information and digital technologies.
Having moved to the current location at Villa Mirafiori in 1980, the Philosophy Library is a vast “library of libraries” where, alongside the main collection, recent literature and periodicals, is a multitude of private collections which make the Library a unique place for research. Its establishment has been enriched by numerous, important donations: from the “Giovanni Gentile Fund” which, together with the personal archive, constitutes the “Gentile Foundation” annexed to the Library, to the collections of Guido De Ruggiero, Carlo Antoni, Guido Calogero, Franco Lombardi, Maria Corda Costa, and to the bequests made by other eminent scholars such as, for example, Balbino Giuliano, Adolfo Levi, Francesco Montalto, Mario Niccoli, Piera Pozzan, Luigi Scaravelli, Marcello Segreto Amadei, Luigi Vagnetti, Icilio Vecchiotti. The Library has also received a donation from the book fund of the Associazione Artistica Internazionale.
As a result of its multifaceted nature, the Philosophy Library is a place for meeting and dialogue of generations distant and recent, a place to conserve and disseminate the collective philosophical memory which offers itself to be questioned and explored through a diverse range of cultural stimuli and multiple scientific interests.

In addition to the stations made available by the Philosophy Library, students can also make use of three study rooms located on the ground floor of the Philosophy Department.
