The study period was from September 2015 to December 2017; and the keywords included "Refugees," "Education," and "University", combined with the Boolean operator "AND." The statistic. For primary selection was the analysis of titles and abstracts, followed by eligibility based on inclusion criteria previously established. Results: The 29 articles included in this review originate from the online newspapers G1, Estado de São Paulo, Estadão, The Washington Post, The Independent, The Guardian and USA Today. In relation to the subject addressed. Conclusion: In response to the refugee crisis several groups are mobilizing. There are a huge amount of institutions directly addressing the most difficult challenges of society, the university is a chance to start over in the long run.
