Portuguese Higher Education Embarks on a Major Academic Mission Across Latin America

From 26 September to 11 October, over two dozen Portuguese universities and polytechnic universities showcase study and research opportunities across Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Chile at Expo Estudiante and Expo Posgrados.

Pursuing a world-class degree in Europe, joining cutting-edge research networks, and experiencing life in one of the safest and most welcoming countries in the world is a life-changing opportunity now closer than ever for Latin American students.
