After selecting the students that will come to UFOP, the partner university needs to
send an e-mail to international@ufop.edu.br indicating their names (nomination),
contact emails and study programs.
In order to send the application, the nominated student must access our website and
fill out an online application form, available at: https://www.dri.ufop.br/applicationforms.
The student is supposed to fill it out with their personal information, upload the
required documents and send it to us for evaluation. If everything is alright, the
Acceptance Letter will be issued and sent to the student and to the home university
with detailed information about the following steps and procedures.
We do not have a specific number of students from your institution that we can
receive each semester. You can nominate as many interested students as you wish.
Their applications will be analyzed according to our availability.
The majority of the classes are taught in Portuguese. Therefore, although we don’t require a Portuguese proficiency certificate, it is highly recommended that the candidate has an intermediate level of Portuguese.
Concerning the courses in English, the offer vary from semester to semester, so prior
verification is necessary. Please contact us: international@ufop.edu.br.
