The Office of International Relations (SINTER) will hold, on 6 March, a welcome session for international students arriving at UFSC in the first semester of 2023. The event will take place at the Rectorate Building Auditorium, on the Trindade (Florianópolis) Campus, starting at 10 am.

In addition to the welcoming speeches, the session will include important information about UFSC and cultural presentations.

This event is organized at the beginning of each semester by the Office for International Relations (SINTER) to welcome and integrate international students into the academic and social life at UFSC. It is aimed at the entire international student community, that is, undergraduate and graduate degree-seeking students and exchange students, including participants from specific programs coordinated by SINTER, such as Escala Estudiantes de Grado and Escala Estudiantes de Posgrado of the Asociación de Universities Grupo Montevideo [Association of Montevideo Group Universities] (AUGM) and the Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação (PEC-G).

This semester, UFSC will welcome 74 exchange students from 17 countries. We will also receive five PEC-G (undergraduate) students, coming from Chile, Paraguay and Guinea Bissau, in addition to students entering Graduate Programs.
