Abstract

BRITO, Silvia Helena Andrade de; RODRIGUEZ, Margarita Victoria  and  MACIEL, Carina Elisabeth. Internationalization of Higher Education: the issue of student mobility at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, UFMS (2011-2017). Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.53, pp.185-206.  Epub May 12, 2020. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v0i0.1380.

Considered one of the fundamental processes for Higher Education nowadays, internationalization encompasses participation in joint research projects; the conformation of interinstitutional curriculum; publication in international vehicles etc. Among its various facets, student mobility is highlighted, involving undergraduate and graduate students. This is the object of this article, which discusses the international student mobility at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), between 2011 and 2017. To this end, we prioritized the study of the Science without Borders Program and the Sandwich Doctorade Program Abroad, which counted on funding from Capes and CNPq. The general objective of the article is to analyze how the implementation of these programs in the UFMS and some impacts of the policies developed there. The data were collected in the management reports of the UFMS, Capes and CNPq, and in the production that analyzes the international student mobility in Brazil. As conclusions, we highlight the way in which such educational policies have induced scientific research in UFMS, by privileging certain areas of knowledge and destination countries. At the same time that these policies have shaped the institutionalization of the UFMS in its internationalization, the decrease of the financial contribution to such programs jeopardise its progress, since the institution has no financial autonomy to enable the continuity of these programmes.
