Our relationship with Brazil
The University of Sheffield has a long established relationship with Brazil and we have been welcoming students here for many decades.
The first known Brazilian graduate of Sheffield graduated from us in 1967 and we are delighted you are interested in following that tradition.

Science Without Borders is a Brazilian Government scholarship programme which aims to send 100,000 Brazilian students and researchers on undergraduate sandwich courses and PhD programmes at universities across the world.
