What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000370) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 52 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.6★ — 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.

Jana Costa

A spacious facility where knowledge in the fields of biomedicine and health is part of the academic routine for university students, future healthcare professionals. It has up-to-date practical laboratories and qualified and dedicated PhD professors committed to providing excellent training.

Ary Kuzer

This university only complicates the validation of foreign degrees. A foreigner living in another country who wants to validate their degree to study in Brazil cannot do so here because an internal rule requires a document that someone who is neither in Brazil nor Brazilian cannot obtain.

marcos gonçalves de oliveira

Intolerant receptionists. People come from far away only to encounter bureaucrats at the reception desk. Anything is a reason to deny access to the hospital. As if we were bringing someone else to have tests done who wasn't the person who registered.

Vítor Kfuri

The faculty is generally very qualified, the infrastructure may not be the best, but it meets the needs. The on-campus hospital is a major differentiator, bringing teaching and undergraduate students much closer to practical experience. In …

Rafael F. Scaramussa

The quality of education is undeniable; the level is excellent and rivals the top universities in Brazil. However, the structural deficiencies are obvious and glaringly apparent. There's an unpaved parking lot, drainage problems (flooding …

Diego

My highest praise goes to the humane treatment. It's spectacular; the students and instructors treat the children very well. On the other hand, Ioufes is in urgent need of external maintenance. It's ugly and neglected.

Hildo Pinotti Junior

I only had psychological problems after I got into this mess! Strange people with bad energy who are like vampires! Teachers with inflated egos! They're more concerned with the streets than with actual studies!

Hebert

Ample parking with wheelchair accessibility. Buildings under renovation to expand services to the public.
This is our Federal University, playing an extremely important role in the society of Espírito Santo.

Guiomar Albuquerque

At the far end of the campus is the UFES Interprofessional School Clinic for Health, which offers services in the areas of Speech Therapy, Physiotherapy, Nutrition, and Occupational Therapy.

jacqueline dolci

There is no signage indicating that it is a UFES campus, the parking lot is terrible, the roads are unpaved, and some buildings have compromised infrastructure.

João M B Santos

Sidewalks covered in moss and therefore very slippery, water fountains malfunctioning, and stuffy hallways—it's no wonder this campus is known as Maruhell.

Rafael Mg

I feel like I wasted 5 years of my life, the teachers were very unqualified and the teaching methods were outdated. I don't recommend it.

Evandro Telles

The college is excellent and has access next to both public and private hospitals, making it easier for students to do some assignments.

Hygor Buss

The campus has undergone renovations and improved significantly. But the most important thing is the high-quality faculty and students.

Good. I took my wife to physiotherapy to help her regain movement in her right arm after surgery.
