What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000367) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 53 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.1★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Brazil yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Julia Z Z

A traditional university in the Paraíba Valley region. The professors are up-to-date and encourage students to study and improve themselves. The facilities could be improved, preserving the history of the buildings while modernizing them and taking better care of the property.

José Roberto Júnior

I was applying to start an internship, but I never received a payment slip, was never notified of any debt, or given any information about the status of my application. Years later, I was sued and had to pay a fortune to Unitau without even having started the internship.

Isabella Silva

Horrible, I've been studying at this dump for 3 years and I don't understand why I put up with it. It doesn't provide the basics, it doesn't do the minimum. Anything you think a university needs to be good, Unitau doesn't have. As I already …

Rosi Mazzucco

I am the mother of a student who came in first place for the Economics course, and they claimed they wouldn't give him the merit scholarship because his exam was rescheduled. However, when we checked the results, he was on the same list as …

Marina Andrade

Terrible, the worst organization I've ever seen! Total disregard for the students, I'm only continuing because I'm graduating this year! But if you have the opportunity, do your degree in São José dos Campos, Caçapava, or Pindamonhangaba.

Guilherme Gonzales

The University of Taubaté (UNITAU) is a public institution recognized for its excellence in undergraduate, university extension programs, and postgraduate studies (master's and doctoral degrees). With a wide range of courses in diverse …

RENE VALLEJO

I sent a soil sample for physical and chemical analysis on February 24th and I still haven't received my results. They generated the payment slip without informing me that some equipment was broken, I paid, and now the only response I …

Daniella

What a terrible day I enrolled in Unitau EAD! You open a support ticket and it sits there for weeks without any response. The tuition payment process is only through Banco do Brasil bank slips, which is archaic. You pay a fee and the …

Carol Cesário

Avoid going to college here! They act in bad faith against students, they only want to make money at the expense of others. I have a debt today due to the university's own mistake, and now I'm paying for something I didn't even do!! …

Matheus J

Horrible, I went into debt because of a scholarship that was proven to be fraudulent, and today I'm paying 13,000 reais of a debt that was 4,000. I deeply regret ever setting foot in that place where even toilet paper was lacking.

cristina Moura

Unitau thinks they're in charge in Taubaté, that's all. A debt of 3,000 that turned into 10,000 and now they want 18,000. Never, I will seek my rights and even file a lawsuit against you. Absurd. Run away from this college!

Emerson Ferreira

I was charged for amounts that had already been paid. Now, two years after graduating, they're trying to collect. At least three other students in my class had the same problem. Keep your receipts; they'll prevent problems.

Kleber Domingues

For now, nothing to declare. I took my son to take the university entrance exam; we'll see what happens later, but I see many people speaking well of Unitau, so I believe it's very good.

João Vitor Zaions

A university that insists on remaining in archaic times and using animals in unnecessary "experiments," promoting the miseducation of its students regarding the importance of life.

Oliveira

I've been through this dark place!! Run away from this place, zero support. They only serve to collect monthly fees! Dilapidated buildings, they'll probably be finished soon. …

Eugenio Ramos

Excellent service and they provide all the information you need about the courses, or they direct you to the correct department for more details.

Enéias Amaro

Although the building and laboratories need renovation, the professors and instructors still make all the difference. I recommend it.

Daniela S. Siqueira

Excellent school that covers children from first grade all the way to college, I highly recommend it, my children are happy there.

Val Correa

Today was complicated during voting; there was no one to talk about the polling station that had changed location.

Diego Rabelo

Balbi College excels in technical education and has a good laboratory infrastructure for practical learning. …

Suzana Ramos

The environment is spacious, but the lack of ventilation due to having few fans in the room is very bad.

Douglas Souza

Hi, I'd like to know if you offer in-person agronomy courses. Best regards, have a great day.

Juliano Schimiguel

Good structure. I presented a paper at an undergraduate research conference in 1999.
