Abstract

CUTTI, Luan et al. Science without Borders program: experience report. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.3, pp.1020-1033. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271991897.

The Science without borders program was created aiming to reduce the distance between the Brazilian universities and the most prestigious foreign universities, through the students’ mobility to other countries. This federal program needs to be evaluated so that the community has a return and learn what it has been done by these fellows abroad. The aim of this work is to report the academic and extra-academic experiences acquired by four students of the Science without Borders Program during their period studying abroad. In this way, we seek a critical look at the program and how it has helped in the professional formation and improved the citizen vision of the students who are contemplated. Four students from UFSM, campus Frederico Westphalen, were selected by the Science without Borders program to do the sandwich under graduation abroad. The students have studied at universities in Italy, Germany and Australia for a period of 12 to 18 months. During the period abroad, fellows attended language courses, undergraduate courses at universities and performed internships. Experience provides ineffable learning that can contribute to the pursuit of academic excellence in Brazil, by sharing these experiences with teachers and classmates. Having an international experience in the academic and professional resume will definitely stand out among the rest in an extremely competitive job market. Study abroad, mostly still during under graduation is set between the most exciting and enriching experiences for any undergraduate student.
