Master's Program Admission Process at UFPE

Public Calls

Each graduate program at UFPE announces its own public call outlining the criteria and selection process.

These calls are typically published on the university's website and specify important details such as deadlines, required documents, and the steps for applying.

Selection Criteria

The selection process varies between programs, but it usually includes multiple components, such as:

Knowledge Test: A written exam that tests subject-specific knowledge.

Curriculum Vitae (CV) Analysis: Evaluation of academic and professional experience.

Pre-Project Submission: A proposal outlining your planned research project or study topic.

Pre-Project Presentation: A defense or presentation of your proposed research, often to a panel of faculty members.

Program-Specific Requirements

Depending on the area of study, UFPE may require different components in the selection process.

Some programs may place more emphasis on research proposals, while others may rely heavily on test scores or previous academic performance.

Graduate System in Brazil

The Brazilian higher education system typically requires students to first complete a 4-6 year bachelor's degree before starting their 2-year master's program.

Master’s programs are distinct and require a separate entrance exam for admission. This differs from some European systems where master’s programs may follow directly after a bachelor’s with minimal additional exams or requirements.

Application and Deadlines

Each graduate program has its own specific application process, including required documentation and deadlines.

Be sure to check the official program page for up-to-date information regarding deadlines, required documents, and other key details.
