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. SHe 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 university from the very beginning and here I have the opportunity to interact with people from 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.

Ribeirão Preto

Ribeirão Preto has its origins in the livestock industry, but it 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 it has turned into one of the most representative economies of its region and also a Brazilian landmark in terms of technology and education.

São Paulo Now reaching the outstanding milestone of almost 12 million inhabitants*, in part as a consequence of immigration from all over the world, São Paulo is the most important financial and economic center of South America. The town is considered the city of business and hosts about 90,000 events a year. It offers a great diversity in terms of leisure, entertainment and culture (cinemas, theaters, night clubs, restaurants, parks, museums etc), besides options for eating out that embrace many different cuisines from around the globe as well as typical dishes from several regions of the country.

International Cooperation How to be admitted at USP.

USP International Cooperation Office is responsible for all aspects of the university’s international affairs. Foreigner students will get the necessary support to solve their main doubts about academic life and also tips regarding the process of adaptation to our university and country. Besides the central International Cooperation Office, most schools have local international offices. Further information: http://www.usp.br/internationaloffice/ Exchange students


31

Programs offered to foreign undergraduate students Admission as a regular student 1 Admission Test (“Vestibular”) The admission test - “Vestibular” - is organized every year by Fundação Universitária para o Vestibular (FUVEST). It is commonly applied between November and January. Further information can be found at:

2 Transfer Transfer from other higher education institutions (both Brazilian or foreign) is only possible when vacancies are available after regular enrollment and internal transfer processes (from one USP School to another). This admission process happens via preselection and specific examinations, both applied by FUVEST. Further information can be found at:

3 Program for Partner Undergraduate Students (PEC-G) This is a cooperation program between Brazil and countries which Brazil maintains educational and cultural agreements with (especially from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean). The goal is to offer young students from these countries the opportunity to undertake their full undergraduate studies at USP. To be eligible for the program, it is necessary to fulfill the following requirements:

• Be a citizen of the developing countries which Brazil maintains an Educational and Cultural Cooperation Agreement with; • Possess a High School diploma or equivalent; • Be a Foreign Citizen aged between 18 and 25 years old; • Possess a Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese Language (CELPE-Bras), in the case of students from non-CPLP countries (Portuguese Speaking Countries Community). The pre-selection is carried out by the Brazilian Embassy in the candidate’s home country. The students’ evaluation is based on their High School résumé or equivalent and on their financial conditions. For more information, please visit: Should a student be selected to take part in the program, he/she must submit the following documents for registration at the International Office and for enrollment two weeks before classes begin: • Covering letter (MRE - Ministry of Foreign Affairs); • Declaration of commitment; • Term of Financial Responsibility; • School Transcript/ High School Diploma and Birth Certificate (all documents must be duly sealed and recognized by the Brazilian Embassy); • Request for Consular Visa; • Passport


32

Admission as an exchange student Exchange students are allowed to attend courses at USP for one or two semesters, 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: Once the application has been submitted by the home university, the student receives an e-mail containing a link to complete his/her application. Documents to be attached on the online application: • A reference letter, written by a professor from the home institution; • A copy of the student’s transcript issued by the home institution accompanied by a simple translation into Portuguese; • A Study Plan, including a list of disciplines the candidate intends to take at USP (you can find the list of disciplines at . Select the School, the course and then the disciplines); • Copy of the pages of the applicant’s passport which include personal data (including the expiration date); • Digital photography for the document, in “.jpg” format and maximum size of 50Kb Any questions concerning Exchange Students’ mobility must be sent to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]

Important!

The DEADLINES for submissions are: For the first semester (February to June): until OCTOBER 15TH. For the second semester (August to December): until MAY 5TH.

Selected students must subsequently present the following documents for registration at the International Office and for enrollment: • Passport with a Temporary Student Visa (Type IV); • A copy of the International Health Insurance/ Travel Insurance.

I am very grateful to the International Office staff. They´ve always listened to my questions and they’ve always answered them respectfully.

2

Program for Partner Graduate Students (PEC-PG)

PEC-PG is a cooperation program with countries from Africa, Asia, Oceania, Latin America, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Foreign students interested in applying to a graduate program via PEC-PG must get in touch directly with the School where they wish to study, in order to be informed of the necessary documents and procedures for that specific School. Applicants must send the following basic documents: • A copy of the student’s transcript, diploma and Birth Certificate, all duly recognized by the Brazilian Embassy • Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese Language for Foreigners (CELPE-Bras) • A copy of the curriculum in Portuguese • Two reference letters and a Research Project or Study Plan (according to the models found in the PEG-PG Manual) • Acceptance letter issued by USP on one of its Graduate Degree Programs (Masters or PhD) For more information, please go to: .

For information on existing Graduate Programs, please go to the website:

Prior leaving Selection Process The International Office only conducts a prior analysis of the received documents in order to accept (or not) the candidate’s application. Further analysis of the information provided by the applicant and his/her possible acceptance are undertaken by the School where he/she intends to study and will take up to approximately 60 days after the subscription deadline.

Visa In order to legally reside in Brazil during the period of intended study and to be able to enroll at Universidade de São Paulo, foreign students must obtain a student visa (Type IV Temporary Visa) with the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate in their home country. The addresses of Brazilian Embassies and Consulates can be found at: http://www.itamaraty.gov.br Important!

It is not possible for a foreign student to enroll at USP holding a tourist visa, nor is it possible to change the type of visa once already in Brazil or a neighboring country. Under such circumstances, should the need arise to change the type of visa, it will be necessary for the student to return to his/her home country.


34

Health Insurance During his/her stay in Brazil, the foreigner will be allowed to use the services of the Brazilian Public Health System only in case of emergency. For this reason, Universidade 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 one specific travel insurance or another is the student’s responsibility.

Important!

In order to stay in Brazil, it is necessary to have a valid foreigner’s ID card (RNE) issued by the Federal Police. Please go to the Brazilian Federal Police website for more information: http://bit.ly/gnLthi . You may also check our guide to get your RNE : http://www.usp.br/internationaloffice/wp-content/uploads/RNE-english.pdf

After arrival

Libraries

Once in Brazil, the foreign student must present himself/herself to the USP International Office in order to be introduced to the university and receive instructions regarding the necessary procedures.

USP has 44 libraries located throughout its schools, museums and research institutes of all campi.

The International Office staff will provide information about: • RNE - Foreigners National Registration – mandatory registration and identification of any foreigner in Brazil. The associated document is issued by the Federal Police with whom all visitors should register within 30 days of arrival in the country; • USP ID card; • Portuguese course enrollment; • Signing up for classes; • Student Single Transportation Card (“Bilhete Único Estudantil”) , through the USP Superintendence for Social Assistance (SAS); • Homestay Program

Integrated Library System Online catalogue: http://www.usp.br/sibi/

Portuguese Classes for Foreigners All the university’s activities are held in Portuguese. The Language Center of the Faculty of Philosophy, Languages and Literature, and Human Sciences (FFLCH) offers a Portuguese language course for USP’s exchange students.
