Welcome to the OUBS website. Whether
you are a fresher or a veteran, an undergrad, a fellow, or anything
in-between, we hope you will find enough information here to further
your links with the Brazilian academic community in Oxford -- or
simply to get in touch with our people of unparalleled warmth and
cultural effervescence!
The OUBS has some formal objectives, as
stated in its Constitution.
First, we aim at promoting debate about
the Brazilian reality related with social, economic, political and
cultural aspects.
Second, we seek to improve the
relationship among the Brazilian community itself and among the
Brazilian community, the British society and other overseas
communities.
Third, we purpose to promote the
articulation of the interests of Brazilian postgraduate students and
researchers residing in Oxfordshire through association to adequate
organisms.
Meetings and
Events
The OUBS hosts regular meetings and
always has a bustling schedule of events. Latin people generally do
it nice. But Brazilian people bring the Samba, Choro, and Bossa
Nova. Case to rest: we are fun!
Who can
join?
Everyone. We are as multi-cultural as
our country is. We are also always in touch and organizing joint
events with other student societies in Oxford -- our links with the
Portuguese Society are
particularly strong, and celebrate our cultural and historical
ancestry. We are pleased to welcome people from the most diverse
traditions and origins, and will do our best to ensure you will feel
home -- amidst this rainy weather of England it will seem as if you
were in Ipanema. :)
Though Members of the society hold
privileged access to all of our meetings and events, many of our
events are open to the Oxford community at large.
Membership
Membership to OUBS is free and
open to all members of Oxford University -- regardless of whether
you are already a member of other student society.Click here to

We can also admit non-Oxford University
