Who we are

The International Relations Office (GRI), a department under the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs at Tiradentes University, is dedicated to expanding the range of international partnerships with the aim of strengthening the academic quality of its programs and thereby enhancing the international recognition of Tiradentes University (Aracaju/Sergipe), the Tiradentes University Center of Pernambuco (Unit/PE), and the Tiradentes College of Goiana (Fits/Goiana), in Pernambuco.

The Tiradentes Group began its international activities through academic mobility programs in 2008, and currently has expanded opportunities through academic and scientific cooperation with 40 universities from Spain, Portugal, Latvia, Croatia, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, China, and South Korea.

Through international relations, the Tiradentes Group aims to facilitate knowledge sharing and provide the best international opportunities for students, faculty, and administrative staff within the group, thereby expanding international development and broadening perspectives on the diverse cultures that make up the globalized world, where cultural diversity and the integration of peoples must be promoted.

This is known as International Academic Mobility, which plays a key role in the education of students at the Tiradentes Group and partner educational institutions abroad, enabling them to engage in academic study and learn about different languages, cultures, and realities without losing their connection to their home institution. These opportunities are governed by the General Regulations for International Academic Mobility.

Our Founder
Jouberto Uchôa de Mendonça is the founder of the Tiradentes Group, which traces its origins to the opening of Colégio Tiradentes in 1962. And over the course of its 55 years of existence, the modest elementary and middle school founded in Aracaju has grown, becoming a college, then a university, and today serves as the foundation for a successful project in the Northeast, with higher education institutions in Sergipe, Alagoas, Bahia, Pernambuco, and Rio Grande do Norte.

Jouberto Uchôa de Mendonça

In his résumé, Professor Uchôa, president of Tiradentes University, lists his education, which includes a basic commercial course at the Tobias Barreto Technical School of Commerce and an accounting course at the Sergipe Technical School; in addition to a bachelor’s degree in Legal Sciences and a postgraduate degree in Educational Administration, with entrepreneurship as his strength and a commitment to the art of teaching and learning as his hallmark.

Today, he chairs the board of the Tiradentes Group, which operates Tiradentes University (Unit/SE) in Sergipe; the Tiradentes University Center of Pernambuco (Unit/PE); and the Tiradentes College of Goiana (Fits/Goiana) in Pernambuco.

Furthermore: With four published books and a life dedicated to education and the preservation of Sergipe’s cultural heritage, Professor Uchôa has held seat number 23 at the Sergipe Academy of Letters (ASL) since 2013.
