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.

USP’s scientific productivity totals an average of over 25 thousand 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 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.

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.

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 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
