International Partnerships

UB officials meet with representatives from VINUniversity (Vietnam).

The Office of International Education is responsible for administering the university's institutional relations with international partners. Accordingly, OIE collaborates with academic units to draft and finalize international agreements and to conceptualize, develop and implement programs with international partners, including exchange programs, cooperative research initiatives, and collaborative academic programs, among others. A variety of resources are available to inform these initiatives.

  • International Partners
    1/7/26
    The University at Buffalo maintains institutional partnerships with more than 110 leading universities around the globe. These affiliations significantly enhance UB’s international engagement and global reach, and help advance the university’s research, education, and service missions. Many of these affiliations involve the exchange of students and faculty as well as collaborative research and scholarly activity. In some cases, educational cooperation with international partners involves a collaborative degree program or the delivery of UB degrees at the partner's campus overseas, as in the case of the Singapore Institute of Management.
  • Collaborative Degree Programs with International Partners
    12/19/25
    The Office of International Education (OIE) serves as the central administrative clearinghouse for the review and approval of new collaborative or dual degree programs with international partners, and works closely with the host academic units, Undergraduate Education, the Graduate School, and other administrative units to facilitate this process.
  • CAPES BRAZIL/UB Visiting Researcher Program
    12/19/25
    UB recently launched a new partnership with CAPES Brazil that will bring faculty and PhD-student researchers from Brazilian universities to work with host UB faculty through a funding program of the government of Brazil. In early 2025, President Satish K. Tripathi formalized the agreement with Brazil’s Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education; CAPES, as it is known, is an agency of Brazil’s Ministry of Education designed to improve the quality of university faculty and graduate students in Brazil through grant programs.
