Teaching, Research and the "Third Mission" are the three main university activities. UniTo has chosen to interpret the three traditional missions multidimensionally by giving value to people and to the places where they carry out their studies and work. The University intends to innovate teaching and research, through constant attention to changing needs and technology, and thus to ensure their continued high quality. UniTo also intends to be open to the public, disseminating new knowledge in the socio-cultural context, collaborating increasingly with institutions, local bodies and businesses to impact on the community socially, economically and culturally.

University education nurtures in young people a critical overview and methodological rigour in solving complex problems. Students are our country’s future, and it is essential that the university keeps up with the contemporary world and the educational needs of a rapidly changing society. The university must remain committed to quality teaching, placing the student at the centre of constant innovation in teaching methods, in order to engage students and promote in them a flexible, open mentality. In terms of teaching, the University of Turin is competitive and attractive, with a focus on the continuous experimentation of innovative teaching formulas that enhance the relational component of teaching and encourage the development of transversal skills, which are useful for enriching the skills of students and facilitating their entry into the world of work. The University intends to invest in students by focusing on the quality of teaching so that programmes are constantly updated, in order to adapt to a constantly evolving social and economic context, and always remembering cultural and gender diversity. Courses must also be delivered in a digital format and include continuing education proposals with a focus on lifelong learning and professional reskilling. This commitment is also demonstrated by the attention paid to supporting each student throughout their university education with an increasingly broad and personalised range of guidance and job placement services, to help young people make autonomous and informed choices and to make graduates more employable locally. The University intends to constantly update teaching by setting up a Teaching and Learning Centre, in order to identify teaching and study solutions that are appropriate to the specific nature of the courses, with the aim of reducing the drop- out rate and improving the teaching. The Teaching and Learning Centre aims to become a national and international point of reference for research into teaching innovation. In addition, UniTo intends to improve and enhance its in-coming, in-itinere and outgoing guidance services and its job placement service both face-to-face and remotely.
