Testimonials
Brazil is a
wonderful
country and USP
is one of the best
universities.
New friendships
I was admitted to the Obstetrics program
at the Universidade de São Paulo via
an agreement between Brazil and my home country, Cape Verde, under the
auspices of the Program for Partner Undergraduate Students.
Our first days of classes were great, because we were the first and only
Africans from Cape Verde to come to study at USP/EACH (School of Arts,
Sciences and Humanities). Everyone was curious to meet us and to learn
about life in our country. I ended up meeting most of the students in the
college, and they were all really cool, receptive, nice and friendly.
Jassira Maria Ortet Fernandes
Cape Verdean Student was admitted to USP via the Program
for Partner Undergraduate Students (PEC-G)
Enjoy your
exchange program
to the max, you
won’t regret it.
Culture and Diversity
I have been studying anthropology for
two semesters at USP as an exchange
student. Studying and living here
has changed the way I see Brazil. I liked the univversity from the very
beginning and here I have the opportunity to interact with people of
different nationalities, allowing me to acquire new knowledge and
broaden my worldview. Markets on weekends, “sambas” that take place in
the city, great parties, exhibitions, displays… São Paulo is a city where you
always find something going on, there’s always something to do, you just
have to stay tuned in.

Universidade
de São Paulo
Find your way around the several different
Schools which make up the university and
which are located all over the state
“Luiz de Queiroz” College of Agriculture
Praça do Relógio
Universidade de São Paulo is one of the largest and most important
institutions of higher education and research in Brazil and Latin
America. Founded in 1934, USP is a public state institution (it does
not charge tuition fees) and has campi placed in eight cities spread
throughout the state of São Paulo. With education and research
activities in all academic fields, USP offers 249 undergraduate
programs, 239 graduate programs (both Master's and Doctoral (PhD)
degrees) and 993 extracurricular programs. In total, there are about
90,000 students enrolled in 48 Schools (faculties and institutes) which
make up USP. Furthermore, the university houses four important
museums which receive over 600,000 visitors per year. In addition, USP
runs health centers and two major hospitals. It also works in partnership
with Hospital das Clínicas of Ribeirão Preto and Hospital das Clínicas
of São Paulo, the latter considered one of the leading hospitals in
Latin America.
Over 86% of the approximately 5,900 teachers are full time
employees. This reinforces the university’s commitment to
achieving excellence in terms of its personnel and of generation
of knowledge.

USP’s scientific productivity totals an average of 27,500 publications
per year, including indexed scientific journals, books, reports etc. This
represents a significant proportion of the country’s output.
The university is also concerned with the application of the discoveries
made by its research centers and laboratories, as well as with the
effective transfer of these findings to society in general. For this reason
many members of the USP community are in permanent partnership
with industries, companies, offices and health centers specialized in the
development of projects and products and in the practical application of
new technologies and products.

The university also plays an important role in South America,
since it attracts many students, professors and technicians from
the neighboring countries and from all parts of the world. USP
is an institution that evolves rapidly in its intent towards greater
internationalization, which has been accompanied by its ever growing
visibility on the world stage. It has signed over 800 cooperation and
exchange agreements with important institutions in the Americas,
Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania, and is constantly working towards
increasing this number. The university currently welcomes about 2,000
undergraduate and graduate foreign students per year and sends abroad
an even bigger number as part of its student mobility program.

Ribeirão Preto
Ribeirão Preto has its origins in the livestock industry, but this was soon
overtaken by coffee production as its main economic activity. The town
has received so many immigrants (mostly Italians) that, in the beginning
of the 20th century, more than half of its inhabitants were not native
Portuguese speakers. Nowadays, with over 605,000 people*, Ribeirão Preto
is considered an attractive option for business enterprises, besides being an
economic highlight in its region. The diversified cultural life, the rich historic
heritage and the talent for business are remarkable characteristics of the city.
Definitely, Ribeirão Preto is a big town with aspects of a small town.

São Carlos
Like many other cities of the region, at first São Carlos was largely
dedicated to the production of coffee. Subsequently, the changing
economy forced modernization and with it came the need to invest in
new infrastructure. This, allied to the abundant immigrant workforce
(mostly Italians), led to the industrialization of the city. São Carlos,
which has become known for pioneering innovation and an enterprising
spirit, came to possess a well-developed urban infrastructure before
many other Brazilian cities. Thus São Carlos has turned into one of
the most representative economies of its region and also a Brazilian
landmark in terms of technology and education.

Further information can be found at: <http://www.fuvest.br/tran2014/transf.stm>
3 Program for Partner Undergraduate Students (PEC-G)

The pre-selection is carried out by the Brazilian Embassy in the candidate’s home
country. The evaluation of the students is based on their High School résumé or
equivalent and on their financial conditions.
For more information, go to: <http://bit.ly/9AXPaR>

which can be further extended up to two more semesters if authorized by both the
foreign institution and USP. Students can obtain credits or conduct research valid to
their home institution. The Home University must register the students here:

de São Paulo demands that students obtain health insurance (travel insurance), which
should be purchased in their home country prior to their arrival in Brazil. The insurance
policy must be valid for the entire period of intended stay in the country. The choice of
a specific travel insurance or another is the students responsibility.
After arrival

International Office in order to be introduced to the university and receive instructions
about the necessary procedures.
The International Office staff will provide information about:
