Resumo
The internationalization of higher education refers to the increasing interconnections among
national education systems, in which the sending and receiving of students, professors and
technical-administrative staff is an essential component. In this context, the present study
aims at assessing the international academic mobility program CAPES-BRAFAGRI, from
2006 to 2014, contained in the public policy of internationalization of higher education
Binational University Partnerships. The study takes as starting point regulatory documents
from CAPES and from UFG and processes mapping that describe the actions of BRAFAGRI
program: funding, eligible undergraduate courses, selection, sending and receiving of students
and evaluation of the activities performed. To measure the academic performance during the
mobility period, were collected data on the studied subjects, approved and utilized in
academic processes and, to measure the students perceptions on international academic
mobility and employability trend, was submitted to them a structured questionnaire. Through
documents and mapping processes it was described the public policy cycle of the program in
which were identified: the actors, the activities, the arenas and the institutional environment.
Academic processes information have showed that the number of vacancies offered for
academic mobility in French institutions is larger than the demand; students have been
approved in 70% of subjects taken, however, only 50% of these disciplines are utilized in
specific core of the curriculum structures from original courses; Engineering Food is most
likely to celebrate double University Degree. Data on students perceptions have shown:
international academic mobility was very important for University Graduation and then
employability; the expectation of mobility has been satisfied; language teaching and
interculturalism are better in French higher education institutions; few previous foreign
languages knowledge hindered the implementation of academic and social integration
activities. The internationalization policy of higher education directed to undergraduate
students fills a gap by providing to Brazilian students, including low-income, take courses and
perform stages in different countries, which contributed to the improvement of student
graduation and increased internationalization of Brazilian universities. Studies to adopt the
methodology developed in this work can be done in other programs that make up the policy of
Capes Binational University Partnerships. As a contribution to the understanding of
internationalization of higher education, we suggest further studies on the strategic
positioning of the internationalization of higher education in the strategic plans of
universities, comparative studies of strategies and outcomes among internationalization of
policies made in Brazil and in other countries.
