ABSTRACT
Introduction:
This literature review article has a lack of studies that deal with the student internationalization process. The main argument is that the identification of these studies will facilitate the comprehension of the process by the interested parties. Furthermore, it aims to analyze studies on the international graduate student’s information needs. In addition to it, the Federal University of Minas Gerais is the study reference.
Method:
The study used a three-step qualitative methodology and was based on three main points: internationalization in Brazilian universities and postgraduate programs, the perception of international students about Brazilian higher education institutions, and the international student’s information needs.
Results/Conclusion:
From this mapping, it was noted that there is a scarcity of publications focused on the international students’ information needs, especially postgraduate students, considering the panorama of Brazilian universities.
