What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001385) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 50 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.4★ — 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.

Lídia Marques garcia

Excellent university, with great campuses and accessibility for everyone, including wheelchair users, etc. Large and diverse library. It has many undergraduate and postgraduate courses available, distance learning, and more. It's a safe place despite being open to all. There's a supermarket on campus and plenty of parking.

Adriel Ricardo

I had the opportunity to study Computer Science here, and well... what I can say is this: there are excellent professors and professionals at the institution. The course will certainly give you a solid foundation to engage in the job market. There are various activities to foster research, innovation... I enjoyed it.

Humberto Pinto

I graduated as an agronomist in 2014 and I only have gratitude for the faculty of PhDs who made me a high-quality and respected professional. Credit goes not only to my effort but also to their dedication, especially the coordinator of Agricultural Sciences, Paulo Langraet.

Genesys Martins

This college is very good. I went to the college and I highly recommend it. I took a tour and everything was organized, each sector was well-organized, and it's very well-structured. Anyone who wants to go to college should definitely come to this college; it's very good!

Sarah Borém

There's no dialogue with the students. They make huge and unjustified adjustments. They have no interest in the suggestions made by the students. I don't recommend it because it's one headache after another, and it will cost MUCH more money than you think.

Athos Alamini Dias

I found it very disorganized. It all started with the Academic Secretariat passing on incorrect information, sending me an email scheduling a Covid-19 test that shouldn't have been done. Then I saw the difficulty in getting service from the …

André Luís

The level has dropped drastically! I only have two classes a day, three days a week! They've cut many subjects from the old curriculum; it's become a mercenary company! They only think about stealing our money and cutting their expenses! …

Sandy Amaral

This institution lacks transparency with its students, is pressured to pay fees, and the only response they can offer is: "We are not open to dialogue." They live on appearances, don't make good use of the exorbitant tuition fees they …

Athos Alamini Dias

Terrible in my opinion, very disorganized. I enrolled, returned to classes, and they sent me a lot of conflicting information. Students are treated very unequally, since classes for returning students started a month earlier than for …

EVELLIN EMANUELE RIBEIRO BATISTA

What kind of university awards a certification like FGV's for a course without giving its students any explanation? Reduces the number of class days and charges you more for it? The students in the Business Administration course were …

lauana leite

I'm not one to speak ill of anyone, but in this case I need to warn people, if you're considering going to Unifenas, please DO NOT go. I'm giving one star because it's impossible to give negative ratings. I studied Aesthetics and …

Lucas Oliveira

Excellent college. They provide complete support to students and are very well-structured. I would say that in the South of Minas Gerais it is the best private college.

Carlos Henrique

Good infrastructure, security had flaws which have been corrected. However, accessibility for students is lacking when it comes to crossing the BR highway.

Lucas Lopes Silva

Best private university in Minas Gerais, top 5 medical schools in the state of Minas Gerais! Top-notch infrastructure and quality professors!

Flavio Augusto

The roads within the campus need improvement; there are many potholes and no signage, but in terms of universities, it's among the best...

Diogo Paiva

Excellent teachers, but unfortunately the administration only thinks about profit and not the students.

It is still one of the greatest achievements of my life. Congratulations to the Unifenas family.
