Applications

We are very pleased to have foreign students at UFPB. We strongly recommend that candidates for mobility into UFPB read carefully all the content of the sublinks under "Mobility - Incoming", which is likely to solve most of the candidates' doubts concerning this process. After that, in case questions persist, students are welcome to send them to mobilidade@aci.ufpb.br .

Our International Office handles more specifically applications of undergraduate students. In case you are a graduate candidate, please, ask us about the process. To better understand how graduate courses and programs work at UFPB, click here.
