Magellan is a bilateral exchange program which aims to foster intercultural understanding and intercontinental friendships between students from the University of St. Gallen and an annually changing partner university in Latin America. Since 2003 it has enabled hundreds of students to participate in the exchange with countries such as Peru, Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. In doing so, it has stood true to the explorer spirit of its patron – the Portuguese sailor Fernão de Magalhães: each year, the project offers a total of 40 open-minded students from both participating universities the opportunity to explore their partner country and to get to know its culture and its peculiarities. The program is split into two 10-day parts and consists of a wide range of different events and activities. In summer 2021, the Magellan Tour has partnered up with the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia! Application period: February 15th to March 7th, 2021.
