How to apply for Master's International Relations at University of São Paulo — step-by-step process, documents required, and application timeline.


USP's Institute of International Relations admits master's students through an annual selection process. The official programme overview states that applicants from any undergraduate field may apply, while the current call controls the exact calendar, documents and selection stages.
We assess your academic background, budget, and preferences, then shortlist universities in Brazil that match your profile. Every university we present is accredited and confirmed open for foreign applicants in the current cycle.
We prepare your complete application document set in the format required — academic transcripts, English proficiency scores (IELTS/TOEFL where required), passport copy, and photographs. We confirm any apostille, legalisation, or translation requirements before submission.
We submit your application through the university's official international admissions route and track the invitation or admission letter through to issue. We review the letter for accuracy before presenting it to you.
We confirm any destination-country recognition or registration steps required before departure, based on University of São Paulo's accreditation status.
We prepare your Brazil student visa file and track the application through to grant. We confirm the exact document checklist for the relevant embassy before submission.
We brief you before departure on post-arrival registration, enrollment formalities, and your first week on campus. We remain your contact through the settling-in period for any administrative follow-up.
