UFMG offers a wide range of museums and places of scientific and cultural interest, such as

the Cultural Centre, the UFMG Conservatory, the Natural History Museum, the Botanical

Gardens and the Museum of Morphological Science, all of which are open to the public. In

addition it organises major arts events, such as the Winter and Summer Festivals. Mention

Hospital, the Dental Faculty and the Veterinary Hospital, as well as the sporting and

recreational activities conducted in the Centro Esportivo Universitário / CEU (University Sports

UFMG's excellence includes the desire to become more and more democratic through

activities of social inclusion. Examples of this are the bonus policy for disadvantaged groups in

the university entrance exams, the Affirmative Action Programme and the Special Programme

of Academic Grants for Evening-Course Students.

Teaching

assessment, which show high levels of intellectual and scientific output. Excellent course

the way it integrates that work with research and teaching. On the one hand, it is the research

activity which enriches and sustains activities and projects developed alongside various

institutions and social groups; On the other hand, the outreach activities demonstrate

through the support of funding agencies. The University is continually improving its facilities

for the reception of foreign students and researchers, and for the consolidation of

international groups and networks that work in research, teaching and extension. Thus, UFMG

has entered into agreements and partnerships with centres of excellence in a number of

4) BELO HORIZONTE

4.1) About the City

Belo Horizonte, the first wholly planned city in Brazil, is the capital of Minas Gerais.

Inaugurated on 12 December 1897, on the site of a previous settlement called Corral Del Rey,

it has a population of about 2.2 million. It is located in the South East Region, a strategic

geographical point in the country. The city is ringed by the Serra do Curral mountain range,

which provides a natural boundary and is full of history. In addition

to its natural advantages and ease of access by air and road, the capital of Minas Gerais is

notable for its architectural beauty, its strong vocation for commerce and services, and its rich

artistic and cultural production. Apart from enjoying the renowned hospitality of the people of

Belo Horizonte and the excellent Mineiran cuisine, visitors can visit the city's beautiful squares

and parks, such as the Praça do Papa, the Parque Municipal, the Parque Mangabeiras, the

Parque Ecológico and the Parque da Lagoa do Nado. The architectural complex around

Pampulha Lake, designed by the architect Oscar Niemeyer, deserves special attention. The

climate is mild, with temperatures ranging between 16 and 31 degrees, the average being

21°C. Winters are dry and summers rainy.

4.2) Basic Information

Language: Portuguese

Currency: Real

Electric current: 110 volts

Cheques: For cheque payments you should speak to the management of the business.

Credit Cards Many businesses in Belo Horizonte accept Visa, American Express, MasterCard

and Diners cards.

Taxes: In Brazil, tax is already included in the price of products .

Bank opening hours: 10:00 to 16:00, Monday to Friday.

Tips In Brazil there are situations in which the tip is already included in the bills for goods or

services. This is the case of some restaurants (10% of total consumption is added to the bill)

and of hotels, where it is also included in the bill. In some cases, restaurants do not include a

service charge in the bill (which is normally stated on the menu). In such cases, a tip of 10% is

normal.

It is customary to tip hotel porters (those who carry your luggage from the taxi to the

reception, and those who carry it to your room) and the valet who parks your car or drives it

from the car park. In such informal cases, the amount of the tip varies - there is no standard

amount. It is not usual to tip taxi drivers. If necessary, round up the cost of the taxi ride.

Health: Some medications, such as anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, may be

purchased by telephone. For controlled drugs, such as antibiotics and antidepressants, you

need a prescription. In Brazil there is the Sistema Único de Saúde / SUS (Single Health System),

which provides free health care for everyone. More information can be found at:

http://portalsaude.saude.gov.br/portalsaude/

Smoking: The Brazilian Civil Code forbids smoking by young people under the age of 18. Some

enclosed spaces in Belo Horizonte have a smoking area. If there is no such space, tourists

should ask the management of the establishment. Smoking on public transport, in public

buildings and in concert halls is expressly prohibited.

Vaccination: The Federal Government has stipulations about vaccination of foreigners who

enter Brazil and also for Brazilians who travel from some regions of the country to others. In

order to find out if vaccination is obligatory and which vaccinations are recommended or

required, contact your consulate.

4.3) Living in Belo Horizonte

Monthly living expenses

The monthly cost of living for an individual in Belo Horizonte varies between 1,000 and 1,500

reais.

The currency in Brazil is the Real.

Accommodation

Amongst other options, foreign students may stay with a host family, in a hotel/hostel or flat,

or, if their programme is one where UFMG pays for accommodation, in UFMG Halls of

Residence.

Programa Sem Fronteiras (No Limits Programme) – Lodging with a Family

For students who wish to live with a family, the DRI can indicate a host family for their first two

weeks in Belo Horizonte. As from the third week, students decide whether they wish to

continue living with the family and under which conditions.

The weekly cost is approximately 150 reais, which includes a separate room and breakfast. If

you are interested, you should contact DRI and ask for a form for accommodation with a

family.

Notes: This option is subject to the availability of families.
