The Brazilian Portuguese Survival Course is an initiative of the Office of International Relations (SINTER) in partnership with the Office of Distance Education (SEAD) at UFSC. The aim is to train students, faculty and staff from universities all around the world to communicate in basic Portuguese and to carry out mobility and academic cooperation activities at UFSC.

The online, asynchronous and self-instructional course totals 20 hours and is organized into five learning modules, each comprising three lessons. At the end of each lesson, students complete activities in a “Practice Time” session.  The modules also feature a “Cultureme” session, which introduces aspects of the Brazilian culture, and a “Tip Time” session, which brings useful information to help students handle the new language.
