UFSC students interested in becoming a Buddy to an undergraduate exchange student in the second semester of 2018 can now apply for SINTER’s 2018 Study Buddy Program.

This is a wonderful opportunity for UFSC students to have an exchange experience by practicing another language, getting to know other cultures and making new friends. Besides, the Buddy will get the chance to help someone who will probably arrive here needing information about the city and the university.

Deadline for applications is 19 June. For further information and to fill out the application form, click here.

Offered by the Portuguese as a Foreign Language Research and Teaching Center (Nuple), the Portuguese for Foreigners course will take place from 2 July 2018 to 26 July 2018, with Monday to Thursday morning classes, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The classes will be held at the Hassis Room in the School of Communication and Arts (CCE), Building B, ground floor.

Registration can be made at the Nuple Office – room 421, Building B CCE.

The Study Buddy Program is a volunteer program in which UFSC students give guidance and assistance to incoming international 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.

If you are a UFSC student and want to become a study buddy, fill in the Studdy Buddy Form, informing your language and gender preference. We would like to remind that Portuguese exchange students also need study buddies, in spite of the language. The information on the international student and his or her respective study buddy will be sent to their personal emails. In case there are not enough study buddies for all exchange students, the selection period will be extended. Application goes from 27 October  to 16 December.
