The city boasts of having more culinary and entertainment establishments than most cities in Brazil. It has a lively cultural life that has over the decades produced some of Brazil's most famous musicians and poets such as Milton Nascimento and Carlos Drummond de Andrade. UFMG also hosts a Winter Festival , usually in July and after the completion of our summer language program. Students on this program will live with a host family. A housing questionnaire helps match students with a family.
Breakfast is provided by the host family.
The deadline has been extended to March 26. Students should be in good academic standing to apply. The deposit is refundable if the student chooses to cancel participation or UT Austin cancels its program by no later than April 3. The courses parallel first and second year accelerated language training at UT Austin. The credit will be transferred to the home institution from a UFMG grade report.
