1. About The Program
The UFMG Summer School on Brazilian Studies aims at providing students from around the globe with a solid background in Brazil and Brazilian studies, shedding light on crucial aspects of South Americaʼs giant country and the region in itself. As the world looks ever more interconnected and multipolar, Brazil strikes as a rising power whose understanding might become an asset for future generations of scholars and practitioners, decision makers and takers. Within the ambit of this program, lectures will be delivered on topics as diverse as politics, history, foreign affairs, economy, geology, law, arts, culture and race, creating a mosaic of highly qualified information and analysis.
All lectures will be taught in English, therefore applicants are expected to be proficient in the language. For students whose main medium of instruction during their education was not English, some proof of English proficiency will be necessary. Results of standard English proficiency tests (e.g., TOEFL or IELTS) will be preferable, but other forms of certification for language proficiency in English may be considered, at the Organizing Committeeʼs discretion.
2. Fees
The program fee is $1000, encompassing a comprehensive package that includes lectures covering diverse topics on Brazil, Portuguese classes, accommodation, three daily meals, cultural activities and transportation for field trips. Full and half scholarships will be offered to invited UFMG partners. The full scholarship covers 100% of the program fee, whereas half scholarships will cover half of the program fee.
3. The costs of flights, travel insurance and visas are not included in the programme fee.
4. Period of exchange: From July 21th, to August 1st, 2025
5. Conditions for application: The applicant must be a regular student enrolled at the University of Tsukuba. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply.
