Become a graduate exchange student
Graduate academic mobility students at UFABC can take courses, carry out research, or do both free of charge. To carry out research activities, the student must be supervised by a UFABC professor and may participate in research groups and use laboratory facilities to develop their articles, theses, and dissertations, according to the activity plan to be discussed with the supervisor.
