What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001135) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 103 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.8★ — 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.

Jadna Patrícia da Silva

I'm a high school student and I'm close to finishing my studies. I thought the place was really nice, but I think I'll need a map or a guide. ? To do my higher education, I'll have to move and I'd like to know if they offer dormitories or other types of accommodation. I'd also like to know if they offer an astronomy course. …

Danielle

I studied there in 2011. I was in the first class at IMD. I attended several classes in various departments. The facilities are unique. It's the best federal university in the Northeast. A place that offers unparalleled opportunities in an academic's life. I highly recommend it to all potential and future students.

Rosinete Paulino

The Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) is among the best universities in the world, according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023. I am very proud to have studied and graduated from this great university. All support to public, free, and high-quality universities always!

Jefferson

UFRN has a large physical infrastructure, which allows for extensive exploration, research, analysis, and even the application of certain practices that complement the theory. Of course, it has its drawbacks (dangerous at certain bus stops, the bus itself is always crowded, etc.). But we manage!

Joel Gonçalves

The campus has come back to life, and the shuttle buses are full of students again. Some of them have problems; the Science & Technology building sometimes suffers from cars parked in the middle of the street, which is part of its route. Overall, it has been easy to get in and out of UFRN.

Mozart

The UFRN campus in Natal is very well located and spacious. It has several common areas and lunch options that fit a student's budget. One area for improvement is the shuttle buses. These deserve a 2 out of 10, unlike the UFRN infrastructure which deserves a 5 out of 10.

Lindenbergh Veiga

A top-tier higher education institution with efficient service and cutting-edge teaching. The modernity of the laboratories and the quality of the library (both physical and digital) are impressive, offering all the necessary support for research. I highly recommend it.

F Leandro Andrade

A high-quality, free university. Ranked among the best in the country and Latin America. It has over 30,000 students. Its infrastructure is constantly growing, boasting state-of-the-art equipment and a large team dedicated to maintaining …

Rick Guerreiro

Aside from the well-known guidelines, it's a great university. But it lacks parallel engagement with the job market to achieve synergy. Many PhD holders can't find jobs in their field. Many graduates finish their degrees without a proper …

gregorio netto

The Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), founded in 1960, is the main public university in Rio Grande do Norte and one of the largest in Brazil, with over 43,000 students. It has five campuses, including the main campus in …

Edison Santos (Clínica do Texto)

I first visited the campus when I participated in the Diversity Network event in 2014 in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, between May 19th and 24th. The event brought together the Cultural Points of the Cultura Viva program and the diverse …

Mr. Silva

Simply one of the best universities in Brazil. Every time I come back here, it feels I’m right where I belong. Great professionals, including myself, have graduated from this amazing institution.

Marcos

Aside from the obvious imposed trends... It's a very well-structured and organized educational complex... It seems to me that there's a lack of security around the institution's premises...

Daniel Moratori

High-quality public university. Very large campus with a shuttle bus service that allows for free transportation between distances. Excellent tree cover, which minimizes the heat.

Antonio Pessoa

Despite the lack of ethics of some professionals, the inefficiency of the ombudsman's office, and the disregard for the university, it's still a good place!

servidor

Every year I go there I'm more surprised. The people are too alternative and aggressive. The teachers earn too much and the students don't demand anything.

Ju Bezerra

A wonderful place for intellectual and cultural stimulation, where students immerse themselves in an environment of knowledge, tolerance, and interaction.

Alexandre Marques

One of the best universities in the country. Inside, it's a world apart, a world of knowledge, support, work, innovation, friendships, and many stories.

Maria Betania Rodrigues

That's very interesting! I have a son and a daughter-in-law pursuing master's and doctoral degrees at UFRN, and they're getting top marks.

Alexandre Souz

Excellent infrastructure, good universities. It's a shame that some students don't give the institution the value it deserves.

Ruan Garcia de Medeiros

The circular route isn't very convenient to take... But there are many great places. Plus, the teaching is fantastic.

Larissa Torres

There needs to be more security and improvements in some resources. Otherwise, I have great love for my university!

Deyvison Da Silva

Aside from the fact that it's very difficult to find the buildings, it's a very pleasant and good place to study.

Clecio Martins

A highly respected institution with quality education. I studied at Diman and was very well received.

Professores Guia de Turismo
