Why study in Brazil?

Studying in Brazil is definitely an experience of a lifetime and an unusual and original choice of study. If you are interested in experiencing the fascinating Brazilian culture and starting your career in South America, then a study program in Brazil is the most suitable way to achieve it.

Brazil is famous for its studies in ecology, due to its jungle and extensive deforestation problems. Sustainability and natural wealth conservation programs are particularly popular in the country. Also, Brazil has turned into a tech-hub in recent years with a lot of investment.

The cost of living for an undergraduate or graduate student averages $800-$900/month and their currency is Brazilian Real (BRL)

The student visa is the most important document you must have if you want to study abroad. Some countries, however, do not require a student visa, such as European Union member countries if you are a European citizen.

Passport

The passport is a necessary document that you must have for studying abroad. Although in most countries of the European Union only your national identity card is sufficient - if you are a European citizen - we recommend having a passport for easier movements and less paperwork.

Copy of your degree
