The University of São Paulo (USP) is launching a new edition of the English@USP project, offering free English courses aimed at undergraduate and graduate students as well as university staff. The courses, which aim to develop different skills in the English language, will be conducted online and will be available for enrollment between August 12 and 15, 2024.
