How much does it cost to study in Brazil in 2022?

If you want to study in Brazil, you should naturally care about how much it costs to study in Brazil. The following are the expenses for students who want to apply for studying in Brazil.

I. Tuition fees

1. Tuition fees of public universities

Brazil provides free postgraduate education for students at home and abroad, so most public universities only charge students registration fees.

2. Private university tuition

Private higher education institutions will charge fees, depending on the degree courses you choose and the school itself. Tuition fees in private schools range from 7800 to 40200 Brazilian reais.

Before applying for a university in Brazil, you need to take a Portuguese exam to prove that your spoken and written Portuguese has reached academic standards. In addition, students must pass an entrance exam called vestibule.

Two. living expenses

1, accommodation fee

Compared with European and American countries, the cost of living is not high. The school will provide ordinary dormitories and luxury apartments, but the number is not enough, so we need to consult in advance. If there are no vacancies, we have to rent a house nearby.

Different cities have different consumption levels, so it is normal to spend 1000 RMB/month.

What should I pay attention to when looking at the house outside?

1) sharing is cheap and multiple copies are safe. Being partners with each other can deepen their relationship and make their lives happier. In addition, you can also consider living in a host family.

2) Learn to bargain and ask if there is any discount for long-term rent, and whether the expenses such as water, heating, property and gas are included.

3) Location is very important. How far is it from school? Try to get there on foot, which also saves some transportation expenses.

2. Food and beverage expenses

Food is the most important thing for people, so eating is very important. There are many canteens in the school, which provide different flavors of food every week to meet the needs of multi-ethnic food culture.

Local people like to eat a lot of food, after all, it is a fusion of many ethnic cultures, such as barbecue, beef, pork, soybeans and so on. Drinks like coffee.

3. Transportation costs

Taxis are expensive, and it is difficult to ensure that taxi drivers have legal documents, so it is safer to choose buses, subways, trams and other tools, and you can also get student fare reduction.

Buying a second-hand bicycle or electric car can also reduce travel expenses, and the monthly cost is no more than 200 yuan.

Third, the preparation before studying abroad

1, get to know Brazil in advance

When you enter the country, you should know the local laws and regulations, cultural customs and various practical information before going abroad, so as to adapt to life abroad earlier. I suggest you log on to the website of the Consulate General in Sao Paulo (a-/chn/) in advance, and pay attention to the WeChat of the Consulate General, the Chinese Association of Brazil (Ola_UECB) and the Brazilian Chinese website (/) to learn about the security situation and precautions in South America and the latest student trends.

2. The documents are ready.

Personal passport, 3x4 inch photo and the original visa application form approved by the consulate are required. Because the first thing to do when you arrive in Brazil is to register your personal identity at the police station, the police station will help you register your identity according to the information on the visa page in your passport and the original visa application form (the police station will take back your original visa application form).

Note: If the original visa application form can be notarized in China (the Brazilian Consulate in China can handle official documents), it should be notarized in China as far as possible. This will save you the trouble of going to the notary office after you arrive in Brazil, and at the same time, you can keep an original visa application form for your reference.
