The UFV Beginners International programme is designed to help new international and domestic students integrate into our university community.
We know that arriving in a new country or at a new university can be challenging—and sometimes overwhelming. That’s why UFV Beginners was created: to make this transition as smooth and enriching as possible. Our goal is to make you feel welcomed and supported from day one, and to help you meet both international and domestic students from various majors who are in the same situation as you and are just as eager as you are to make the most of their college experience.
Through cultural activities and fun group exercises, we aim to help you settle in, make new friends, and get the most out of this experience. We want your time at UFV to be unforgettable, and we hope you’ll leave not only with a solid academic foundation, but also with unforgettable memories and great friends.
For every 10 beginner students, there will be a team leader—an international student in an upper-level program who will be there to look out for you and whom you can count on throughout the semester if you need support. Join us and experience this incredible adventure at UFV!
