Welcome to the Brazil Centre!

At Münster University we offer comprehensive advice and support on exchange issues and cooperation activities with Brazil. Via our Liaison Office in São Paulo, we promote the university in Brazil and provide advice to those Brazilians interested in study and research opportunities at our university. Thereby, we continuously expand and enhance our networks and partnerships and at the same time increase the visibility of the Münster University through a wide range of marketing and communication activities. Last but not least, we devise strategies and incentives to strengthen the academic and scientific collaborations with Brazil and making significant contributions to the internationalization of the University of Münster.
