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.

The Director of International Relations at UFSC, Dr. Fernanda Leal, participated in the round table “Internacionalização da pós-graduação brasileira: a relevância dos acordos Sul-Sul” [Brazilian Graduate Internationalization: the relevance of South-South agreements], on 6 July, together with the ambassador Irene Vida Gala and the graduate student Eliza Feres. The table is part of the local stage of the 28th Brazilian Congress of Graduate Students (Congresso de Nacional de Pós-Graduandos – CNPG), promoted by the Brazilian Association of Graduate Students (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduandos – ANPG), which took place at the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF).
The participation of the Director of SINTER in the event endorses the concept of internationalization that UFSC seeks to deepen, which is: internationalization as an instrument of international solidarity and academic excellence, through multilateralism and multilingualism.
