O estudo objetivou descrever o conhecimento científico sobre HIV/AIDS entre estudantes universitários. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, com amostragem estratificada proporcional, totalizando 260 questionários autoaplicados. Foi utilizado um questionário elaborado e adaptado para este estudo, o qual busca verificar o conhecimento de jovens universitários sobre a HIV/AIDS com relação as medidas de transmissão e os modos de proteção. Os participantes apresentaram o seguinte perfil: a maioria são mulheres, jovens e solteiros. Os resultados demonstram que os participantes, universitários, possuem um bom conhecimento sobre HIV/AIDS, independentemente do periodo cursado. Os estudantes apresentam conhecimento sobre HIV/AIDS, as formas de transmissão, mas no que diz respeito aos comportamentos relacionados à saúde sexual, a maioria não faz uso de preservativo. Conclui-se que, embora a comunidade universitária tenha conhecimento sobre HIV/AIDS, os comportamentos e atitudes não são consonantes com os mesmos, evidenciando vulnerabilidade.Descritores: Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (AIDS), Prevenção de Doenças, Estudantes. Scientific knowledge about HIV/AIDS among university studentsAbstract: The study aimed to describe the scientific knowledge about HIV/AIDS among university students. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, with proportional stratified sampling, totaling 260 self-administered questionnaires. A questionnaire designed and adapted for this study was used, which seeks to verify the knowledge of young university students about AIDS/HIV in relation to knowledge, measures of transmission and methods of protection. The participants presented the following profile: the majority are women, young and single. The results demonstrated that the participants, university students, have a good knowledge about HIV/AIDS, regardless of the period studied. Students have knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the forms of transmission, but with regard to behaviors related to sexual health, most do not use condoms. It is concluded that, although the university community has knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the behaviors and attitudes are not consonant with them, showing vulnerability.Descriptors: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Prevention of Diseases, Students. Conocimiento científico sobre VIH/SIDA en estudiantes universitariosResumen: El estudio tuvo como objetivo describir el conocimiento científico sobre el VIH/SIDA entre los estudiantes universitarios.

AbstractThe paper aims at exploring determinants of the university students' intentions to stay within their university region. At this, we presume that students' career choice motivations are related to their professional intentions, which again, along with demographic characteristics, affect their migration decision. Our analysis is based on a cross-sectional study of 2,353 students from three different higher education institutions, two of them located in Germany and one in Namibia. Results indicate that in Germany migration matters because a considerable proportion of students intend to leave the university region after graduation. At this, we found that the students' geographical provenance exerts the most significant effect on the intention to stay. Moreover, certain professional intentions were directly and some career choice motivations were indirectly linked with the intention to remain at the university location. We present several conclusions and implications.

The female students had better knowledge of oral health hygiene as compared to males. Final year students reported more appropriate knowledge as compared to pre-final year students. Conclusion: Overall appropriate knowledge was observed among the four studied faculties of the university. The present study concluded that pharmacy students had more appropriate knowledge of oral health and hygiene than the other faculty students.
