The Office of International Relations (SINTER) welcomed the Québec Office in São Paulo, last Friday, 5 August, to discuss possibilities for cooperation between UFSC, higher education institutions and the Quebec industry. The meeting was attended by Prof. Telles Lazzarin from the Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering, Prof. Philippe Jean Paul Gleize from the Graduate Program in Civil Engineering and Prof. Amir Antonio Martins de Oliveira from the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The Office of International Relations (SINTER) will promote, on 22 August, a welcome session for the international students arriving at UFSC for the second semester 2022. The event will be held in the Rectorate’s Auditorium, on the Florianópolis Campus, at 2.30 pm.
Besides a welcome speech, the session will include important information about UFSC and cultural presentations for the newcomers.
This year, the event wants to welcome all the international student community at UFSC. Thus, not only exchange students but also international undergraduate and graduate degree-seeking students, including participants from specific programs managed by SINTER (i.e. Escala Estudiantes de Grado and Escala Estudiantes de Posgrado from the Asociación de Universidades Grupo Montevideo – AUGM and Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação – PEC-G), are invited for the session.
The Office of International Relations (SINTER) has published the list of UFSC selected students for the elective course “The Languages of Science”. This is the first COIL course (Collaborative Online International Learning)* offered at UFSC, in a multicultural and interdisciplinary way.
The selected students are from three campuses (Florianópolis, Curitibanos and Blumenau), seven schools (CCB, CFM, CCE, CFH, CSE, CCS and CTC), and twelve undergraduate programs (Biology, Chemistry, English Language and Literature, Forest Engineering, Oceanography, Social Sciences, Pharmacy, Electrical Engineering, International Relations, Psychology and Materials Engineering). They will be joined by 16 French undergraduate students from different areas and ten students from the Euro-Mediterranean Master’s in Neuroscience (EMN-Online).

Dear university community,
The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) receives around 120 international undergraduate students biannually, who come on exchange for one or two semesters.
As the university does not provide accommodation for international students, they need to find their own housing. The Office of International Relations (SINTER) provides a list of housing opportunities available for rent, through which the students can contact the property owners directly to obtain information.
Therefore, landlords who have properties available in Florianopolis, nearby Campus Trindade, or close to the beaches, and may have an interest in listing their houses or rooms for rent, we request you to fill in the housing registration form.
The list of housing opportunities is announced to the international students every semester, and is available on our website.
For further information on the Housing Register, you can contact SINTER through the email incoming.sinter@contato.ufsc.br.
Applications for the international course “The Languages of Science” are open until 6 p.m. on 26 July 2022. Created in 2021, this is a partnership between the Imagine Project at UFSC and the Collège Sciences et Technologies at the Université de Bordeaux, France.
The elective and interdisciplinary course is offered through Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), an approach to teaching and learning between international partner institutions, in which the course is taught simultaneously in both countries. The classrooms of the two universities are connected online and participants can interact in real time, building up a creative, international, intercultural and innovative environment.
The course will be taught in English between 13 September and 6 December 2022. Read the Call for Applications no. 12 SINTER 2022 thoroughly and participate!

Students at UFSC can still apply for the Study Buddy Program, intended for undergraduate exchange students who will arrive at the University for the 2022.2 semester.
The Study Buddy Program is a volunteer program in which UFSC students give guidance and assistance to incoming exchange students on how to proceed in their first days in Florianópolis and at UFSC. In return, it provides our regular students the opportunity to get in contact with students from foreign universities and cultures from all over the world.
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to start your exchange experience. You will practice another language, get to know other cultures and make foreign friends at UFSC!
Applications have been extended until 10 August 2022.
