International students interested in studying at the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG) can do so through various programs and agreements. FURG offers opportunities for undergraduate and graduate studies through exchange programs, bilateral cooperation agreements, and international initiatives such as mobility networks and scholarship programs.

To apply, students must be enrolled at a partner institution that has an agreement with FURG. The application process usually involves submitting academic transcripts, a letter of motivation, a study or research plan, proof of language proficiency (usually in Portuguese or English), and other documents required by the specific program.

Once accepted, FURG provides support through the Office for International Affairs (REINTER), which assists with pre-arrival procedures, visa guidance, housing information, and integration into university life. REINTER also offers orientation sessions and continuous support during the student’s stay.

Courses at FURG are mostly taught in Portuguese, so knowledge of the language is recommended. However, some programs may offer activities or research opportunities in English, especially at the graduate level.

Students can check the available opportunities and open calls on the REINTER website or contact the office directly for more information.
