Discover the world at UFV! If you’re an international student coming for an Erasmus+ or bilateral exchange program, this is your chance to get involved and enjoy a unique experience.
We know that arriving in a new country can be challenging. Everything is unfamiliar: the surroundings, the culture, the people. How do you get around? Who should you connect with? What can you do to avoid limiting yourself to spending time only with people from your own country?
At UFV, we have students with an incredible passion for international experiences: they love meeting people from other countries, hearing new languages, and making friends from different cultures.
This is where the Buddy Program comes in—it was created to connect international and local students. Our goal is to help both groups address their needs and concerns.
