Earlier this month, PUCRS offered a pre-departure orientation for the 48 students who be leaving abroad on the academic mobility program in 2022/2. Germany, Canada, Spain, USA, France, UK, Italy, Japan, Portugal and Sweden are their countries of destination. Overall, 26 partner institutions will be home to our students.
The session was delivered by PUCRS’ Office for International Cooperation and included academic and travel tips as well as cultural aspects of those countries. The program allows students to attend one or two semesters at an accredited institution and transfer the credits taken into the original course of study at PUCRS.

I believe it will be amazing both academically and personally and I hope to be someone new in the end”, Nathalia adds.
