The applications for the Study Buddy Program – first semester 2020 are open! 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 have an exchange experience without going abroad, as well as to practice another language, get to know other cultures and make foreign friends at UFSC!

Deadline for applications is 9 December 2019.
