"For me, the UFF-UT double-degree was an opportunity to enhance my knowledge in different areas, and, at the same time, an opportunity to discuss my research topic with colleagues from all over the world. If someone wants to do a double-degree, my advice is to be brave. Also, don't let the language be a barrier whatsoever: after all, the possibility of speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and other languages can itself represent a bridge rather than a wall. Although challenging, the experience in a foreign city is academically, personally and emotionally enriching. Furthermore, the Global South community is very strong in Tübingen, which helps in daily life. In other words, my final advice would be: enjoy and learn!"
