The International Department is the sector responsible for promoting, supporting, and strengthening UniFAJ's global presence. Our work integrates internationalization into the academic and professional development of students, faculty, and staff, expanding horizons and connecting our institutions to the world.
We work to create opportunities for academic mobility, scientific cooperation, and intercultural experiences that enrich university education. To this end, we maintain strategic partnerships with international institutions and organizations, offering exchange programs, short courses, collaborative projects, internships abroad, and initiatives aimed at strengthening global competencies.
With an approach that values excellence, innovation, and cultural diversity, we support the academic community through every stage of international processes—from initial guidance to ongoing support during and after the experience abroad.
Our commitment is to help ensure that every student has access to an interconnected, diverse education aligned with the demands of an increasingly interdependent world. Through internationalization, we expand career paths, build bridges, and strengthen UniFAJ's role as a benchmark in global education.
This is an opportunity to live an unforgettable international experience: study at partner universities, experience new cultures, broaden your horizons, enrich your resume, and build global connections that transform your academic and professional journey.
This is an innovative approach to internationalization that allows students to develop learning experiences in an international context within their coursework, build intercultural skills, work in global teams, and learn through direct contact with other academic and professional realities—all without leaving Brazil. It is an experience that expands horizons, stimulates creativity, and prepares individuals for an increasingly connected world.
Through shared courses and virtual exchanges, UniFAJ students experience global activities that enrich their education, strengthen their academic English, and build bridges between different cultures. It is a unique space to learn, share, and grow within a global community. Being part of Global Partners in Education (GPE) means joining an international network of universities committed to promoting intercultural dialogue.
The Incoming Mobility program welcomes students, faculty, and staff from international institutions to UniFAJ. Through Incoming Mobility, international students have the opportunity to study in our areas of excellence while becoming part of a vibrant and welcoming academic community. With qualified faculty, cultural activities, study materials available in English, and Portuguese courses for international students, UniFAJ offers a comprehensive experience that combines quality learning, cultural immersion, and a network of connections that last a lifetime.
The Bilingual Program is a UniFAJ initiative committed to integrating English into students' academic paths, reinforcing institutional internationalization and preparation for an increasingly global job market.
Created in 2021, the Program has evolved continuously, with a special focus on the health sciences and the development of language skills applied to academic and professional contexts. The goal is to go beyond language teaching, also promoting the use of language as a means to foster cultural awareness and intelligence.
