Resumen
Faced with the numerous barriers to access to human rights by the immigrant and refugee
population in Brazil, in 2016, UFSM approved the Program for Access to Technical and
Higher Education for Refugees and Immigrants in vulnerable situations, an initiative of the
Project of Teaching, Research and Extension Human Rights and Human Mobility
International and Chair Sérgio Vieira de Mello (Migraidh/CSVM). With the program, the
UFSM began to make possible the entry into technical, technical and undergraduate courses
for refugees and immigrants in vulnerable situations. Thus, the motivation of this research is
the possibility of following the trajectories and experiences of incoming immigrants and
refugees, their main difficulties and challenges since their arrival in Brazil and entry into the
institution's courses. As a problem that directs the study, we ask ourselves: based on the
experience of incoming students in the last two years (2017, 2018), what are the limits and
challenges of the Program of Access to Higher Education for immigrants in vulnerable
situations and refugees at UFSM for the promotion of diversity and equal opportunities in the
Brazilian context? Given the research problem presented, the general objective of the work is
to identify the limits and challenges in the social and legal field of the Program for Access to
Higher Education for refugees and immigrants in vulnerable situations at UFSM based on the
experience of incoming students in the last two years (2017, 2018). Through semi-structured
interviews with immigrant and refugee students of different nationalities and undergraduate
programs, we discussed the main frontiers of the right to higher education, such as
bureaucratic and documentary issues; work relationship and study opportunities; sociability at
university; intercultural relations and professional and return perspectives.
