Our first days of classes were great, because we were the first and only Africans from Cape Verde to come to study at USP/ EACH (School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities). Everyone was curious to meet us and to learn about life in our country. I ended up meeting most of the students in the college, and they were all really cool, receptive, nice and friendly. Enjoy your exchange program to the max, you won’t regret it. Meredith Castro Rios PERUVIAN STUDENT, SHE WAS ADMINTTED TO USP AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT VIA THE CINDA STUDENT MOBILITY PROGRAM PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERU Culture and Diversity Brazil is a wonderful country and USP is one of the best universities. I have been studying anthropology for two semesters at USP as an exchange student. Studying and living here has changed the way I see Brazil. I liked the university right from the outset and here I have the opportunity to interact with people of different nationalities, allowing me to acquire new knowledge and broaden my worldview. Markets on weekends, “sambas” that take place in the city, great parties, exhibitions, displays… São Paulo is a city where you always find something going on, there’s always something to do, you just have to stay tuned in. 4 Find your way around the several different Schools which make up the university and which are located all over the state Universidade de São Paulo is one of the largest and most important institutions of higher education and research in Brazil and Latin America. Founded in 1934, USP is a public state institution (it does not charge tuition fees) and has campi placed in seven towns spread throughout the state of São Paulo. With its education and research activities in all academinc fields, USP offers 245 undergraduate programs, 227 graduate programs (both master’s and doctorate (PhD) degrees) and 888 extracurricular programs. In total, there are about 90,000 students enrolled in 48 Schools (faculties and institutes) which make up USP. Furthermore, the university houses four important museums which receive over half a million visitors per year. In addition, USP runs health centers and three major hospitals. It also works in partnership with Hospital das Clínicas in Ribeirão Preto and Hospital das Clínicas of São Paulo, the latter considered one of the leading hospitals in Latin America. At a glance: the “Praça do Relógio” square On the left: Escola de Agricultura “Luiz de Queiroz ” (College of Agriculture) < Universidade de São Paulo Over 85% of the almost 5,900 academic staff members are full time employees. This reinforces the university’s commitment to achieving excellence in terms of its personnel and in generation of knowledge. 5 USP’s scientific productivity totals an average of 27,500 publications per year including indexed scientific journals, books, reports, etc. This represents a significant proportion of the country’s output. The university is concerned with the application of the discoveries made within its research centers and laboratories and their effective transfer to society in general. For this reason many members of the USP community are in permanent partnership with industries, companies, offices and health centers specialized in the development of projects and products, as well as in the application of new techniques and technologies. < At a glance: São Carlos campus building ; Upper right: USP Leste Bottom right: aerial view of Cidade Universitária . The university also plays an important role in South America, since it attracts many students, professors and technicians from the neighboring countries and from all parts of the world. It is an institution that evolves rapidly in its intent towards greater internationalization and this has been accompanied by its ever growing visibility on the world stage. It has signed more than 570 cooperation and exchange agreements with important institutions in the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania, and is constantly working towards increasing this number. The university currently receives about 2,000 foreign students per year and sends abroad a similar number as part of its student mobility program.
