Every year, the University of the Algarve welcomes hundreds of international students from more than 50 nationalities. To help these students in their integration, the International Day will take place at 14:00 on September 17, at the Teresa Gamito Amphitheater (Building 1), on the Gambelas Campus, aimed at the entire academic community.
On this day, students of various nationalities will make known their countries and share some of their experiences. The prize will also be awarded to the best group of students who participated in the photo paper, held on September 5th, during the Orientation Week, who made them known Faro and the region.
The program also includes an exhibition, entitled “The University and the World”, with typical objects and posters made by students, scheduled to open at 17:30 pm, at the Gambelas Library.

Because internationalization is seen as a «strategic axis», UAlg is increasingly committed to the mobility of students, teachers and researchers.
Examples of this are Erasmus+ (2014-2020) and the cooperation protocols, which provide the opportunity to study/work abroad, accessing new opportunities and diversifying their experiences. It is a pioneer in offering and coordinating mobility projects in Portugal, in particular in the Erasmus Mundus program, which offers masters and doctoral degrees in partnership with a large number of higher education institutions.
The International Relations and Mobility Office (GRIM) had already welcomed the international students to a week of integration, which took place from 1 to 5 September, where sessions on the Portuguese language and culture were organized and several visits to get to know them. the region.
