This semester, 27 students participate in virtual and in-person educational exchanges

Students from Feevale University join eight international exchanges this semester. In total, 27 students are involved in the International Business School Americas exchanges, Undergraduate Exchange 2024/01, Paid Internship in Veterinary Medicine, Externship in Veterinary Medicine and Observership in Medicine, which take place in person, and Virtual Project Str@tvision Plus 2024, Spanish for Foreigners and Virtual Internship, which take place virtually. The destination countries for educational exchanges are Portugal, South Korea, Denmark, Finland, Spain, United States, Italy, Belgium and Chile.

The Biomedicine student Maria Vitória Sander participates in the Undergraduate Exchange program 2024/01 at Häme University of Applied Sciences (Hamk), in Finland. Maria explains that she chose to do the exchange in Finland because she always dreamed of studying in Europe, as well as getting to know that country's culture. “Finland is an incredible country with a culture very different from ours in Brazil. I have always loved learning new languages, new ways of living and I knew that this would be a unique and great opportunity and experience for me”, she says.

The Design student Luísa Boff, also studying at Hamk, highlights that the classes are very interesting. “My biggest fear was not understand the content because I had no experience studying in another country, but everything is going well. The subjects of the classes are very different”, she explains.
