General Requirements
Students need to be nominated by the institution where they are currently studying. They should also ensure there are no outstanding issues with their current school and be at an academic level appropriate to the program to which they are applying.

Students coming from a university with which EBAPE has an exchange agreement will normally be admitted under that agreement (upon nomination by their home university).

Study Programs
Please contact International Office.

Language courses
Please contact International Office.

Deadline for aplication
At least 2 months before classes begin.

  • A copy of your passport;
  • Two 3cm x 4cm photos;

    Accommodation
    We don't offer accommodation but we can give some contacts to help the student.

    Living Expenses
    Depends on your lifestyle, but we estimate your costs will average US$ 1,200 per month.

    Health Insurance
    The student needs to have their own health insurance from their country, covering the exchange period. Brazilian health insurance for foreigners is very expensive.

    Visa
    Students who do not have Brazilian citizenship or residency must apply for a Student Visa at the nearest Brazilian Consulate or Embassy after receiving our letter of acceptance.

    Facilities
    Library services, computer facilities, café, restaurant, bookstore. The Subway Station is five minutes' walk from the school, and the bus stop is in front of the school.

    We don't offer internships but we can certainly give a recommendation letter to help the student obtain one at a local company, previously contacted by the student.
