What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001130) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 105 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.5★ — 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.

Ana Beatriz

Excellent physical space and opportunities for human and professional development. A university committed to society and values ??such as Science, Life, and Faith, especially due to its Catholic origins – but this does not detract from its welcoming character towards students, professionals, and staff of other religious expressions.

Cleison da Silva Vieira

It's a very cozy place and has security throughout. It's great for those who work there and even better for students. I just think they should review the entry process for people into the buildings, as anyone can enter and exit some without any identification. Apart from that, everything is very beautiful and has excellent parking.

Luiz Carlos Alves

This is one of the best universities in Brazil. I was there for my son's swimming competition in the Paraná state championship on October 18th and 19th, 2024 (for the 2-year-old category). The pool is an Olympic-sized 50m pool, and the event was organized by the Paraná Swimming Federation exclusively for registered athletes.

Marcela Rangel

Regarding the distance learning courses: Good teachers and content. However, there is a need to improve the organization and communication between university departments. It takes a very long time to obtain the certificate of completion, even after submitting all assignments and paying all tuition fees.

Bruna Voltolini

I tried to do my postgraduate studies at PUC, but they kept stalling with the start date, and when it came time to cancel my enrollment and get my money back (as stated in the contract), they passed me from one representative to another. I don't know where the best university in the state is.

Luis Peraza

A university city that exemplifies the development of a region within a country, education is one of the fundamental pillars of society. It boasts spacious and modern facilities where the staff maintains excellent communication, providing the best experience for its students and visitors.

Cristhian Jenzura

The Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná has a structure considered to be very good to excellent. Regarding teaching, I believe it is one of the best in Curitiba, on par with UFPR, which has always been the most sought-after university by students in the state of Paraná.

Nahor Lopes

I am a PhD student in Philosophy at PUC and I am very happy in this place. The facilities are very beautiful, the bathrooms are always consistently clean, and the service at the office is efficient. Congratulations to the Marist Brothers and all the staff of the institution.

Priscila Grahl (HISTÓRIA JÁ)

Near PUC-RS, it's a simple university. Highlights include the FTD arena (which has a planetarium) and the library. Otherwise, it's a campus with an okay garden, a polluted river nearby, and many impersonal building blocks. There are food courts in strategic locations.

Elias Benavides Dalago

After 30 years living in the city, I had the opportunity to get to know the inside of the University. Now I'm an Italian professor and I've discovered a beautiful set of facilities—impeccable, functional, and organized. It continues to be very well maintained.

Pedro

I graduated between 2012-17. Many experiences and good memories. There were difficulties with bureaucratic issues, but nothing that hindered the experience. I returned there to do a postgraduate degree in 2018-19.
A very beautiful place that left its mark on me.

Rafaela Claro

The professors are excellent and very knowledgeable. But the institution itself is completely disorganized. There's no alignment regarding information; each employee says something different. The same goes for the infrastructure—everything …

João Vitor Tymczak

Excellent college, very spacious classrooms with several fans to cool the entire room, projectors at the front and sides so everyone can see, a little confusing for newcomers (like me, for example), but just ask a senior student. Very cozy, …

Poliane

The content of the online Business Administration course still has a long way to go to be considered bad. MANY of the texts are created with AI and aren't even proofread. The photos show an example of a text about probability in statistical …

Leandro Segala

When trying to enroll in a distance learning postgraduate course (which caught my attention because of its internationally recognized professors), I realized that enrolling was more difficult than passing a medical school entrance exam. The …

Inovtec - bertoldo

I'm taking online courses, as I have with other courses. *I don't recommend it*, communication with professors is very poor. They have 48 hours to answer a question... and sometimes it's not clear whether it's "me" in the question or "them" …

Anaís Favero

Terrible experience with the online postgraduate program. The sales pitch is excellent, but the after-sales service is nonexistent. Furthermore, the classes are very weak, except for a few special guests who make a difference. However, it's …

Gabriela Martin

The diploma department was informed that it would be open on January 13th from 9am-12pm and from 1pm-5pm. I arrived at 11:20am and the reception informed us that they were in an external meeting and would probably extend it to after lunch. …

Halisson Aparecido

I do not recommend it due to a lack of ethics on the part of the finance and marketing departments. There was a discrepancy in billing information; at the end of the first year, I was already paying almost triple the monthly fee stipulated …

Isadora Armstrong Guimarães

It was great until they changed their methodology. My course dropped two points in the MEC (Brazilian Ministry of Education) rating; it's definitely not a good value for money in education. If you have problems, generally no one will solve …

Gabriel Forlepa

The place is large and a bit confusing; I confess that the scattered maps don't help much! I've been studying there for 6 years and I can guarantee it's quite bureaucratic with internal problems, and unfortunately, the internal staff often …

Fernando F79

My review is about the parking; they charge a lot. When it rains, the paper slips you put in the barcode reader get wet and everything jams. You pay, the place gets wet when it rains, you have to maneuver the car, park again, and go to the …

Ilson Pêgo

To speak of PUCPR is to think of innovation. Students can take advantage of everything a great university has to offer. From help in choosing a course, student support (PUC ACOLHE), support when thinking about a career (during courses and …

Penha Santos

Despite some excellent professionals I know at PUC, my experience bringing my nephew to do a postgraduate course here in the state has been terrible. It's impossible to get through to the departments; it's a constant back-and-forth... and …

samuel Dourado

I'm willing to pursue postgraduate studies anywhere but PUCPR. I enrolled in a postgraduate program as a career strategy. Three months after starting classes, I changed careers and no longer needed the postgraduate course. The institution …

Simone Lima

I'm in my final year and I'm already feeling nostalgic. PUCPR is truly exceptional in terms of content and professors. Of course, there are one or two professors who aren't so good, and the university lacks a renovated structure, like in …

Jocelito Bar

The university is terrible. The architecture coordinator is incapable of responding to students. The administration also offers no support whatsoever. They asked us to go to PUC. They said "Talk to the team," but that didn't help either. …

Servo do Senhor

One of the best, PUCPR University in Curitiba is a Multiversity, with excellent professors and quality courses, offering everything a student needs. It's a technologically advanced place, rich in the humanities, very clean and organized. …

Steeh Santos

Students, don't be fooled by PUC PR ON-LINE's after-sales service. Terrible service, they give you the most attention when it's time to sell, but when you need them, it takes them 6 hours to reply to a WhatsApp message, claiming that all …

Jouberth Cordeiro

The student services offered through the virtual secretariat are terrible. I've been waiting for over 10 days for a request. They don't respond on time. I tried other ways and it's impossible to contact a person to resolve the situation. …

Lia_Maralia Pinheiro

Terrible experience!! I paid the registration fee for an online course, but I changed my mind within 7 days. According to article 49 of the Consumer Protection Code, I am entitled to a full refund of what I paid. However, PUCPR said they …

Camila Martins Ferreira

Excellent infrastructure and accessibility. There is plenty of covered area for walking (which is very good on rainy days), plenty of restrooms, parking spaces, elevators, ramps, and places to eat. There is a bus stop and subway station …

Mia Angell

The worst choice I've ever made. I transferred to the pharmacy course in 2021 and I found the college very bad. Due to the professors' decision, I couldn't attend a subject I enrolled in because they judged that I wasn't qualified, even …

Nadezhda Nikolaeva

A large private university with campuses for medicine, arts, law, languages, computer science, and a business school. The campus boasts a huge library, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a park, and excellent cafes. They offer an excellent …

Sthefany Christina

If you have the opportunity to do a postgraduate course at PUC, give it up! Look for any backwater university that charges you 80 reais a month, and I'm absolutely certain you'll receive much better service than at this institution. I …

Bianca Marchini

I recently completed a postgraduate course and I do not recommend it. Many subjects were recorded using old videos from the pandemic era, employing references from that time without any updates. Student support is very weak; they hire …

Hikari Hayashida

The infrastructure is beautiful, and the professors are very dedicated, but there are several problems, such as the different treatment given to each course. If you study medicine, probably all your professors have doctorates, there's …

Patricia Soraia da Silva

I'm a student in a specialization course at PUC (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro), and my experience was the worst possible. I disagreed with one of the coordinators on a topic. And besides not being able to accept a …

Yumi Imazato

The facilities are great! They provide most of what a student needs; in my case, a well-structured and large model-making workshop, Mac labs where you can even borrow a tablet, and a photography lab with a studio and various types of …

Emely Zaze

On February 7th, 2020, I received my diploma at this graduation ceremony, and after 5 years I was expecting a unique and wonderful moment. I arrived at the stadium at 8 am: a line to get in, half an hour just to get into the stadium. …

Victoria Grubba

In 2018, I began my Advertising and Public Relations studies at the institution, struggling to pay the tuition and attend classes, which are far from my usual route (and in a dangerous area). In the third month, I experienced a major …

Nicole Sabine

I was a student at PUC (Pontifical Catholic University) both in person and online. I suspended my in-person course because my mother passed away and I was devastated. I received no support from the university; they only advised me to …

likely out

They have a lot of structure to offer, but at the career fair the students don't know how to explain the course (????). I asked how the marketing course works and the student told her life story and said that the connection with the …

Mariana Fernandes

Dishonest university! I enrolled and after requesting cancellation and sending my information for a refund, I didn't receive the money I had paid. I contacted them several times via WhatsApp and they were never able to send proof of …

Felipe Bittencourt (Bitte)

I graduated from this institution and, with authority to speak about it, I can say that a large part of my professors were exceptional people and highly competent mentors. However, the organizational structure of the institution, in …

Wesley Medeiros

I simply love PUC. One of the best things I've ever done was study here and get a full scholarship. You can spend the whole day at PUC. Nowadays, the restaurants have a student menu that's very affordable, plus there are many other …

Leila Rocha

Terrible online learning experience. I'm studying Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness, and I wouldn't recommend this institution to anyone. Don't be fooled by the "reference professors," because you won't meet them. …

Tífany Beatriz Silva Minga

There is no control over who enters and exits the buildings, which I believe could create safety risks for the students. Parking costs R$5.00, and at the end of the month it becomes a significant expense for those who drive every day.

Letícia Corrêa Cantú de Brito

I did my postgraduate studies at PUC and it was wonderful. Now I contacted the distance learning department via WhatsApp and received incredibly poor service.
The representative was extremely rude. I will never enroll there again.

edna baldaia

Terrible service, difficulty canceling, the attendant kept mocking the fact that the University would charge the semester fee even if the contract was canceled 12 days after the start of classes. Avoid institutions like this.

Gustavo Oberle

My experience with the distance learning system was awful.
Besides the cost-benefit ratio not being favorable, the professionals who are supposed to provide support seem totally unprepared. If you need any support from …

Angelica Gomes

I don't know about the college itself, as I'm not a student.
But they deserve praise for helping the population with dentistry. I was there for the first time today, and I was able to talk to some people who have been …

Luciane

Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná, located in Prado Velho at Rua Imaculada Conceição, number 1155.
It is a private, Catholic educational institution in Brazil.
Spacious location with parking and green areas.

Pedro Marcos

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience.
I completed the entire course online, and in the final project, the dates for each stage were not on the same page as the project itself. The project required a …

Eric Nehls

Example of one of the worst parking management experiences I've ever seen.
PUC itself is great, I love the professors.
And yet, I only gave one star to the review, just because of all the stress I've …

Vanilce Waneski Keine

It was very special, we were very well received, we were impressed with the organization, cleanliness, structure, the well-trained staff ready to answer our questions, everything was a 10/10, fantastic!

Jeferson A. Costa

An excellent university, with diverse fields of study and an excellent location for competitive exams. However, the paid parking left something to be desired, despite having several available spaces.

Lucia Haracemiv

Excellent university, committed professors, complete infrastructure, good learning environment with leagues organized by area of ??knowledge. I am very happy with our daughter's experience.

Pamela Evelyn

Terrible! People, don't go to this university, you'll be ripped off! I'm filing a lawsuit against them because they just kept my money. And they have a total disregard for the customer. …

Victória Cunha

Dear Sir/Madam,
I paid a fortune for enrollment and still haven't received a username/password to finalize the process of sending documentation/adjusting my schedule. I've been …

Jéssica Maciel

I studied at PUC at various levels of education and I must say that today I miss it very much.
The university has a reputation in the job market, but in the day-to-day life of …

Melvin Douglas Siqueira

All support to the teacher who was a victim of racism. It seems the institution preferred to punish the teacher and not the students who acted in a way that constitutes a crime.

Luiz Pereira

There are a few good and true teachers there, really worthy. however the majority is not comprised with it, there are not bad teachers, they are ineffective which is worse. …

Biólogo Giba

The structure and teaching are excellent, but the organizational aspect is very flawed. Students from outside Curitiba, in particular, do not receive adequate guidance.

Regina Lima

The administrative/financial service during this quarantine is disappointing!!!

You can only talk to robots (AI), or via chat with uninformed people. I stayed …

Keven Gemaque

The campus is very spacious, with several buildings for each area of ??knowledge, lots of technology, excellent professors, and a library full of knowledge. …

Amanda Almeida

I am a Bachelor's degree student in Marketing through the ProUni program, currently in my second semester, and I would like to register my dissatisfaction. …

Higor Lima

Excellent university. Qualified professors with extensive market experience. The service provided by the administrative offices could be improved.

Melissa Macario

Best private college in Paraná!
It has a huge and beautiful structure, a food court, a gym, a library with many open spaces for studying. …

Leonardo Schneider

Terrible! They've automated the customer service; nobody answers the phone, and the WhatsApp support only provides standardized responses.

Vanessa Krueger

The space is wonderful. I presented research in an amazing, hands-on room.

The campus is wooded, with good restaurant options...

Ricardo Borges

A spacious, well-maintained, and highly organized facility, offering top-tier courses taught by excellent professionals.

Marcel Rodrigues

I really liked it, although I couldn't solve what I needed.

But the infrastructure is world-class.
Congratulations.

Edvaldo Zerlin

It was in this institution that a Black professor of Psychology was silenced after denouncing racism. Lamentable.

Ana Carolina Calixtro

I've been a student at PUCPR for 3 years, and I'm completely in love with everything! A wonderful place to study!

Daniella Domingues

I am extremely dissatisfied with how PUCPR handles communication and tuition billing for the online course. …

The best in Paraná, without a doubt, a humanized education very different from UFPR.
