Next year, from July 15 to 26, UFMG will host the second edition of the Summer School on Brazilian Studies. The program offers international students a consistent understanding of key aspects of Brazil such as politics, history, foreign relations, geography, law, economy, arts and culture, providing solid background on the topic, with lectures held in English.

During two weeks of intense learning, the participants will be able to attend thematic lectures conducted by UFMG’s professors and classes of Portuguese language. On Fridays, they will be taken on field trips to Ouro Preto and Inhotim, places of historical and artistic relevance in Brazil.

Students and professionals who wish to acquire a wide and multifaceted view of Brazil should send their CV, a letter of motivation, a letter of recommendation and certification of English proficiency to summerschool@dri.ufmg.br until February 5, 2019. The result of the selection will be disclosed on February 28, 2019.

Participants are due to disburse USD 1,000, which will cover participation fee, accommodation at the University Housing and three daily meals served on campus restaurants.
