Student services
The International Relations Office of São Paulo State University gives support to all the internationalization initiatives of the institution and manages the undergraduate exchange programs.
Housing services
UNESP o"ers housing facilities, but there is a limited number of places. Also, they are mainly destined to low-income students. We encourage students to stay in a “republica” (houses rented by students who share expenses) in order to enhance sociabilization with local students. If you need information about housing, please contact the local international relations o)ce (ERI) at your destination campus.
Library services
- UNESP has a Library Network composed of 34 Libraries located in 24 cities in the state of São Paulo.
- Access to the collection is possible through the Integrated Search which provides a complete overview of all the university's libraries, the specific catalogs of each unit, and, of course, the university's own scientific output.
Campus life
Unesp is the best case of a multicampus university in Brazil. Its geographical distribution includes 24 campus located mostly in inland small or medium-sized cities - and one campus in the capital, São Paulo. Considering this ditribution, if you draw a circle with a 100 kilometer radius around each of these 24 cities, it will almost entirely cover the state of São Paulo.
Unesp is a respected institution with accomplished members, fully-accredited programs and strong research base - and these will remain its priorities.
