Exchange Programs in Brazil
The REARI-RJ Network consists of eleven Australian universities (exchange is possible with six universities) and 29 European universities belonging to the Utrecht Network. The REARI-RJ - Utrecht Exchange Program provides students at participating universities the opportunity to study at one of the partner universities for one semester or a complete academic year. Students remain enrolled at their home university and attend regular courses at the partner institution. In general, only students working on their bachelor’s degree can be considered.
Brazilian universities participating in the exchange program:
- Universidade Federal Fluminense – UFF
- Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica Celso Suckow da Fonseca CEFET RJ
- Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro – UFRJ
- Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio de Janeiro – IFRJ
- Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro – UERJ
- Oswaldo Cruz Foundation
Requirements and process for University of Basel students
- Intended for students at the bachelor level (completed at least one year of a bachelor’s program).
- The exchange program is not intended simply for language stays. Rather, the idea is to give candidates an opportunity to become familiar with teaching and research at the respective host university. Solid proficiency in Portuguese is therefore essential.
- The stay abroad is funded for one or a maximum of two semesters. Students do not pay any tuition fees at the host university and remain enrolled at the University of Basel. Students neither making use of the university’s teaching or research services, nor intending to obtain credit points, may be granted a leave of absence of no more than two semesters at a time. Leaves of absence must be applied for when reregistering.
- Students receive a one-time stipend of approximately CHF 1000.
- Cancellations require a great deal of work on the part of all institutions involved. If such an exceptional case does occur and a cancellation is required, the Student Exchange Office must be informed of this in writing.
