Last Wednesday, 24 May, the Office of International Relations (SINTER), in partnership with the Department of Psychology, launched the SINTEGRA outreach project. The launch was held in the School of Socio-Economic Sciences (CSE) Auditorium, from 2 pm to 3:30 pm.
The SINTEGRA project aims to meet the needs of PEC-G students at UFSC. The Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação – PEC-G provides students from developing countries with which Brazil maintains educational and cultural agreements the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate studies in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). International students over 18 years old and preferably up to 23 years old, with complete secondary education, are selected to enrol in undergraduate programs in Brazil. PEC-G is administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) and the Ministry of Education (MEC) in partnership with HEIs throughout the country.
SINTEGRA aims to help the students in their adaptation and integration process at UFSC, discussing academic, cultural, and racial issues. Through the project, students will have greater involvement and will be able to contribute to the improvement of the university.
The Institutional Center for Languages and Translation (NILT/SINTER) promotes the second edition of the course “Exámenes de certificación en español: acercamiento” [Getting familiar with Spanish proficiency exams].
The course introduces four Spanish proficiency exams (CELU, DELE, SIELE and LAPLE (DLLE/UFSC)), whose certificates are the most required for academic mobility and admission to graduate programs. The objective is to familiarize participants with the exam formats, the types of questions, the skills assessed, the time for completion, the assignment of grades/scores and the conditions of offer and validity of the exams.
Classes will take place between 22 June and 15 July.
Register here until 17 June.
Attention: participants must have knowledge of the Spanish language (written and oral comprehension), as the entire course (classes, materials and activities) will be in Spanish.
If you have any doubts, contact the NILT Spanish Coordinator at espanhol.nilt@gmail.com.
