This research sought to identify possible consequences and impacts on corporeality and sexuality in students who have suffered sexual violence within the university context. The methodology was qualitative in nature and included eleven undergraduate and graduate students from public universities in the interior of the State of São Paulo, who participated in semi structured interviews, based on visual methods, which were done in remote format. The instruments used were: i) Questionnaire for characterization of the participants; ii) Semi-structured interview script, including the Timeline technique and body cartography. The results show that the students were exposed to several scenarios of violence in the university context, experiences that produced different levels of impact on the physical, psycho-emotional, academic, interpersonal relationships, and difficulties in connecting with their sexuality and their bodies after the aggression. The intention of universities should be directed at reducing the impact of trauma, avoiding revictimization, working on the prevention of any damage in the most vulnerable population of the university.
