The admission process usually takes place in an annual call: in December, for admission in the first semester. Selection is open to any candidate with an undergraduate degree in Education. International applicants need to have proficiency in Portuguese and in English for Specific/Academic Purposes. The candidates are approved per professor and the number of posts available, but are classified in general order for scholarship distribution, prioritizing the best ranked candidates.
Scholarships
The number of scholarships varies from year to year, depending on the availability of funding agencies, so there is no guarantee of scholarships for all accepted applicants. The rules of each selection process are explained in specific calls.
