Study Abroad: an international experience during your degree
Study 1 or 2 semesters at an international university without leaving your Brazilian undergraduate program. During this period, you are exposed to new teaching methodologies, expand your network, and return to Brazil with an international academic experience that adds value to your resume and education.
About Study Abroad (Exchange)
Fundamental information about the objectives, target audience, and how the Study Abroad program works.
The Study Abroad program combines your undergraduate degree in Brazil with an international experience. Usually, the student begins their studies in Brazil, takes part of the course at a foreign university, and then returns to Brazil to complete their degree. It is possible to validate the credits of the subjects taken abroad, however, it is essential to discuss all details in advance with your university to ensure recognition.
This program is aimed at university students who wish to enrich their academic and cultural education, broadening their horizons through an international experience.
The study period abroad is generally 1 semester or 1 year, depending on the course and the conditions agreed upon with the universities.
The model offers clear strategic benefits for your career:
- Possibility of validating credits and not delaying graduation.
- Real fluency in academic and professional English.
- International networking with students from all over the world.
- Direct impact on the resume and a competitive edge in selection processes.
- Lower cost than a full undergraduate degree abroad.
You leave. You return.
The degree doesn't change.
We also do full undergraduate degrees abroad
The subjects taken abroad can be validated at the Brazilian university, avoiding the loss of credits. It is essential to discuss this with your home university in advance, as validation depends exclusively on each institution's rules.
Unlike a language course, the study abroad program requires academic English in the classroom, in presentations, and in debates. Language evolution is rapid and definitive.
You study alongside students from all over the world and build a genuinely global network of contacts with peers that open doors to the job market and beyond.
An academic experience at an international university permanently changes the weight of your application for internships, trainee programs, master's degrees, and international vacancies.
1 or 2 semesters are financially much more accessible than a full undergraduate degree abroad — and the career impact is transformative.
How Gradeup takes you
to your semester abroad
The process involves your Brazilian university and the international university — two parallel processes that need to be coordinated. Gradeup takes care of both.
In a no-obligation conversation, we understand your goals and present the opportunities and pathways that make the most sense for your study abroad project.
After signing the contract, we hold an onboarding meeting to get to know your profile in depth and develop a personalized application strategy.
We select the most suitable institutions, taking into account the student's profile, academic goals, costs, chances of approval, and other relevant factors.
We submit the applications within the appropriate deadlines and assist the student in tracking acceptance letters and all subsequent stages of the process.
After approval, we provide guidance on enrollment, visas, accommodation, and other travel preparations, in addition to holding a pre-departure meeting.

No, when well planned. The subjects taken abroad can be validated at the Brazilian university, avoiding the loss of credits. However, credit validation may or may not be accepted depending exclusively on your home university.
Planning is done before departure — we identify which subjects can be recognized and ensure that the schedule fits without conflicts, subject to prior approval from your institution in Brazil.
The required English level for the Study Abroad program is similar to that of a traditional undergraduate degree, as the student participates in academic activities as an international student. In general, universities require proof of proficiency through official tests, such as IELTS or TOEFL, and each program establishes its own minimum score.
