Our counselling service is a space where you can feel listened and supported as you cope with any challenges that may arise as part of your learning experience, as well your personal growth and relationships (e.g. cultural differences, pressure including school-related anxiety, difficult relationships with classmates, emotional/relational issues, distance from home and loneliness, etc.).

Starting from the academic year 2019/20, students who have commenced a certifiable gender transition process, can ask for a CAREER ALIAS, where instead of their given birth name, they can use a name that corresponds to their new identity for all activities and services on Campus and pertaining to their academic life.
A career alias consists of a complete change and is used until the end of the gender transition process.
The new identity will be used in lecture registers and for examinations. To activate this process, the student must sign a confidential agreement with the school.
HOW WILL DOMUS ACADEMY HELP YOU WHILE IN MILANO?
Domus Academy aims at improving the student experience by building a strong sense of protection in and out of the school. As a result, Domus Academy recommends students to take out a health insurance during their study abroad, to find twenty-four/seven assistance in case of emergency. For this purpose, Domus Academy partnered with APRIL International, to make students’ life easier through ad-hoc insurance packages for study abroad students.

AS A STUDY ABROAD STUDENT, WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE OUT INTERNATIONAL STUDENT INSURANCE?
It is advisable to have private health insurance to make sure you have easy access to treatments and medical consultations, no waiting lists, and more freedom of choice. Moreover medical care in a foreign country could be very expensive. This is why Domus Academy suggests students to take out APRIL’s student insurance and benefit from a customised solution.
