Conceição Assis (Ciça)

A free, high-quality university. A wide range of courses, research, outreach, and cultural activities. A diverse and vibrant university with a strong commitment to expanding its campuses into the interior of the state. UERJ is also present in Friburgo, Petrópolis, Cabo Frio, São Gonçalo, Caxias, Resende, and so on.

Helen Lúcia

One of the best universities! The infrastructure needs a lot of maintenance, but the professors are excellent. I hope there will be more concern from the population in taking care of what is ours, always vigilant against the crazy schemes that those in power come up with to take education away from the people.

Alessander Sorrilha Luiz

I was only on campus for a few minutes to take care of personal matters, so I don't feel qualified to give an informed opinion. I smelled smoke (drugs) but couldn't identify the source of the bad smell. I also noticed a rather long line at the cafeteria, but I can't evaluate the service as I didn't use it.

Cynthia Rachel Esperança

Selective vaccination. So many people wanting to live, UERJ and other vaccination centers with no lines, relatively empty, and yet they're denying vaccines! Sad. This account is about the immunization being offered at the location and not about the University itself, which continues to resist. ? …

Careta Quadrada

Great! It needs more security inside and around it. The staff are helpful and, for the most part, good at what they do. The courses are good, but they need to innovate and create more technology-focused courses. It also needs a more caring approach from the state government.

Maria Fernanda

My university, my great love, and one of my greatest sources of pride. UERJ endures and proves that quality education is accessible and only possible through the unity and struggle of its students. I have immense admiration for this university and for all who fight for it!

Junior Silva

It's the most democratic and fair university in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
I love the UERJ entrance exam and its unique and special design. There's still a great variety of people enrolled at UERJ, which is very rewarding. Excellent state university, I love it <3

Rogerio S. Bruno

UERJ is one of the best universities in Rio de Janeiro for many professional options. It is very well located and has excellent infrastructure for food, libraries, vocational courses, IT infrastructure, and everything else a university should offer its students.

Rafael Santa Rita Maia

Despite all the difficulties faced by the institution, UERJ remains relevant and attentive to its responsibility towards education. Its only flaw is its internal policy, which, tired and outdated, fails to address the need to confront bureaucratic neglect.

Adriana Martins

A place with accessibility, a great snack bar option, wooded areas, and a cultural center, COART, with several high-quality open courses. It's very close to Maracanã, has art exhibition spaces/galleries, and the spaces usually host cultural performances.

Petruska Perrut

The public university endures.
The building offers more security nowadays. The ramps have a suitable surface for descending without slipping. There are services offered to the academic community as well as to society in general, at affordable prices.

Gustavo Gomes da Costa

I really like UERJ, but every time I go there, I feel lost. I took an open course through LICOM and spent 15 minutes looking for information on the boards, and I only managed to find it by being very persistent and asking strangers for directions.

Gloria Accioly

I acknowledge that UERJ has several structural, security, and financial problems. It is a splendid public undertaking in developing scientific knowledge. Many excellent professionals graduate from this institution. Now, during the pandemic, …

Juju Papa

I went to get my second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine ? and I simply loved it! Because in addition to getting the vaccine, I was able to participate in the Covid-19 research, which involved blood tests. Wow, I felt like I was contributing …

Rafael N Godinho

The university has many serious and well-qualified professors. Some of its faculties are considered benchmarks in their field, at least in the state of Rio or in Brazil. Physically, the buildings that comprise it are ugly and arid, all made …

Daniele Joyce

I feel compelled to address an issue that cannot be ignored. Last week I was trapped inside an elevator—that's right, trapped for 10 minutes. Me and a young engineering student—I find it outrageous that a university serving thousands of …

aristides moreira sequeira

The total lack of preparedness of the people who organized the second phase of OBMEP was evident, as they put children in charge of giving instructions, and they simply told the children to let them in, without showing whether there was any …

Thayná Lima

It is a university of excellence that, despite the neglect it suffers from the government, endures thanks to its history, struggle, and resistance. Every corner of this faculty has a story and also creates a story for us that we will never …

Helio Natal

I've known this place for many years, having participated in some lectures and conferences, but like all public assets and institutions, it's been going through a long period of lack of funding and investment, and as a result, the level of …

Mariana Ardente

Despite the problems with state management, it's a great public university with academic activities, university extension programs and other types of events, public and private events, spaces for student and civil society representation... …

Daniel de Áries

I was inside UERJ (Rio de Janeiro State University) and I thought it was cool, kind of like Batman, kind of like Wednesday... a really crazy architecture made to accommodate and move around a lot of people. The elevators are like a subway …

Eduardo Brum

The State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) offers 32 undergraduate courses, postgraduate programs, master's and doctoral degrees, and has research groups, scientific initiation programs, and specialized laboratories. The professors are …

Bruno Ramalho

The State University of Rio de Janeiro, commonly known as UERJ, is an excellent university, with a structure that many others across the country envy, and the first to participate in the quota system, giving higher education opportunities …

Edmar Teodoro

It's a space that inspires culture. Largely neglected by the public authorities, but a volcano of culture. The companies located in the Fundão complex have an obligation to contribute more to the place. Maintaining security, cleanliness, …

Isabela Sousa

A high-quality public university in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The institution is committed to free teaching, research, and outreach activities. The main campus is located next to the Maracanã stadium, near the Pedro Ernesto University …

Victor Lima

I spent five years of my life there and I can affirm that it's a great university. Dedicated professors and overflowing knowledge; everyone should have the privilege of studying there. Unfortunately, our policies don't value education and …

Mateus Rei de Souza

I feel very pleased to be able to visit and get to know this great public university. It is cowardly under attack from politicians who only govern and legislate for their own petty interests. Public universities are the patrimony of the …

Renan

It's a huge place with excellent professionals. There's a lot of academic activity, with a wide variety of courses from different areas. Numerous laboratories and many presentations are available; it's a university that also focuses on …

Adriana SC

UERJ is a wonderful university!! The physical structure, bathrooms, libraries, restaurant, and cafeteria allow students (who need to) to spend the whole day there without difficulty. Nearby there are shops, buses, trains, and the metro...

Kemuel Machado

Excellent university! Although the overall grayness of the building is a bit off-putting, the architecture is great. Excellent facilities, great annexes that serve the general public well. Excellent quality of teaching, especially in …

David Bizarro

A place of great technical expertise, building and disseminating advanced, inclusive, and cutting-edge scientific knowledge. UERJ should always be a source of pride for Rio and Brazil, as it actively contributes to improving our society.

Guilherme Menezes

UERJ was my home for 5 years, where I studied 2 different courses. Being a state-run university in Rio de Janeiro, it has faced many difficulties in recent years to stay afloat. It's an incredible university with a mix of everything …

Thereza Rosso (Teka Rosso)

The State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), along with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), are the two main universities in the state of Rio, standing out in Brazil and among the top university rankings in the world. …

Christopher Suttenfield

Poorly equipped university with slow internet, a difficult architecture that makes it very slow to move around and almost no air-conditioning. In addition, it's interior and exterior design is simply raw concrete: ugly and depressing.

Alexandre Costa

Today I had my first experience at UERJ, attending Law and Portuguese/Literature classes as an auditor. I was able to see how incredible the academic environment is. I'm excited about the future that awaits me. Thank you.

Ulisses Cavalcanti

Excellent university. Very welcoming, with several support and incentive programs for students. Extremely strong in postgraduate studies, with over one hundred programs. It is among the ten best universities in Brazil.

Thiago Martinez

I lived some of the best years of my life at this University.
All I have to say about it are positive points, largely driven by the affection it inspires in me. Even the hardships and difficulties ended up becoming …

Alphonse Kelecom

I went there on Monday, March 29th, to get my COVID vaccine. Everything was fine there. Well organized. UERJ is already a well-established university. During this pandemic, there are few people. Everything is clean.

Iuri Rocha

A center of excellence in teaching, research, and outreach. I am doing my postgraduate studies (Master's degree) there.
Qualified faculty and quite reasonable access, as it is close to the subway and …

Monografias & Dissertações

I studied, worked, and developed as a person at UERJ. Those were the happiest years of my life. There was nothing like UERJ at the beginning of the millennium – and there never will be again. …

José pedro

It's a good university, one of the best in Rio de Janeiro. I was there that day to participate in the third phase of the Brazilian Physics Olympiad and I had a good impression of the institution.

Gracilene Araujo (Grace)

It's quite large. Continuous flow in the elevators, but everything is well organized by the elevator operators.
The bus stop is very close to the entrance. And kind of in the back, there's an …

Kleber Mattoso

The facilities are no longer what they were in their heyday. Even so, their good infrastructure fully and satisfactorily met the needs of the event I attended, which was very well organized.

Eduardo Trindade

It is among the best universities in the country, especially in some specific courses such as Social Work, for example. It is part of the history of the state of Rio and of my life. …

Elizete Fergon

The building was renovated in 2018, with modern elevators, classrooms equipped with technology, and spacious auditoriums on each floor, and a teaching staff always willing to help. …

Ingrid Lemos

I completed my undergraduate and master's degrees in arts at UERJ and I am very grateful for everything the University provided me. UERJ changed my life and transformed my story. ??

Almir Junior

Excellent educational option in the State of Rio de Janeiro, one of the best universities in Brazil.
Various specializations, differentiated entrance exam, excellent professors. …

Thaís Ferreira

Simply a wonderful place, beautiful, even well-maintained. The teaching and teachers are excellent. I went today to get vaccinated and everything was very well organized outdoors.

Serafim Velasquez

Excellent university, even with all the crisis it continues to have excellent professionals, such as the professors. I imagine how it would be if it had the proper investment.

Caio Carvalho

As a former UERJ student, I can say it's one of the best universities in the state. Excellent professors, public policies... Definitely a university that embraces the student.

Regina Canidé

The international event on Violence and Poverty was very well received. Congratulations to the university. Long live science, long live public servants, long live education.

Domingos

Today, surprisingly, it was average, but much better than the last time I was there, but still far, far short of what is expected of an institution of UERJ's caliber. …

Wagner Siciliano

Administrators should exercise greater control over organization, cleanliness, and disorder. Students should be there to study, not to develop militancy against others.

Marcelo

The university's infrastructure needs more attention, but it's a fantastic place to transmit knowledge and combat inequality. I'm very proud to be a part of UERJ.

Beatriz Filizola

I love UERJ! It's super well-located. I don't attend university there, but I've taken some courses there, and from my point of view, it's a great institution.

Pedro C

I was quite disappointed with my experience.
This Sunday, December 3, 2023, I took the UERJ written exam at UERJ, on the 7th floor, in the RAV74 Law room. …

Marcelo jones guimaraes

We were at UERJ for the 5th CONECTA UERJ-RIO Regional Integration Seminar - Metropolitan Region I and II on July 18th, 2023, at the Noel Rosa Theater.

Jéssica Oliveira

Good structure and well located. It's a shame it's in the state it's in now... It used to be so highly regarded and is now undervalued.

Felippe Pires

It's a great university; it has problems that are present in many other public universities, but even with its problems, it endures.

Victor Alves

An excellent campus for studying, with ample opportunities for intellectual growth across different philosophical currents.

Celeste Alcântara

Before, I didn't know what UERJ was, but now I'm always there for the Empowered Women training sessions that I'm a part of.

Sonia Maciel

UERJ lives in my activist heart! It's the place where we find and reunite with friends who fight for a better world!

UERJ is a world of university.

Research is one of the university's strengths, with numerous laboratories and …

The best college in the state of Rio de Janeiro, with full teaching support and accommodation for the student.
