As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at UDESC is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. Tuition fees at UDESC are different for locals and foreigners. Brazil citizens pay 170 USD per year, while international students pay a minimum of 1,000 USD. The university has several financial aid programs that help students cover part of the cost of education.

Bachelor degree at UDESC
Only students who successfully pass the entrance exams are admitted to bachelor's programs.
The campus of UDESC is located in Florianopolis. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. Not only locals study at UDESC, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
