Each university represents a different level of academic development and skills relevant to the development of their community. By this method, students can exchange opinions with students from different cultures on issues of biodiversity, industrial microbiology, genomics, biofuels, microbial physiology and biochemistry, bio, as well as implement some degree of theory through field work and other techniques. Some of the benefits that are offered to the student financial support of $ 4,000 which includes travel and accommodation expenses, training in Portuguese and mentors who will guide them in their adjustment process. Students who wish to be part of a successful experience must have a grade point average of 2.70 or more must submit an essay of interest based on why you want to go on exchange and approve the interview with the directors of the project.
A student exchange is itself a cluster of new experiences, and involves student and cultural interaction. By living temporarily in another country enriches the person, involved with a new culture. Consequently, the experience is part of learning that goes beyond the academic, which is related to the customs and daily life of a country almost entirely unknown. After all, we are citizens of one planet. Learn from each other.
