What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001808) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 109 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.

Neiva Silva

The service is terrible. I went there initially to get the payment slip, and the attendant gave me one amount, but when I went to pay, the amount was twice as high. They're in a hurry to get rid of you, they don't check anything, they give incorrect information, and then they try to blame you for their mistakes. Horrible.

Bruna Emanuele

I needed help with some paperwork, and Jaqueline, who answered my call, was super quick and efficient. I went there in person after speaking with her, and she proved to be very professional, dedicated, and kind. She helped me solve my urgent problem. She deserves praise! We need more professionals like her.

Demirse Ruffato

The UCS Veterinary Clinic provided excellent care for my very old cat, and a perfect practical lesson, taught by the professor and attended by the students. They handled Pê with care and attention, performed examinations, and answered questions. I left there delighted! I recommend it to everyone!

Renata Resanrod

Great university, I just found the staff at the foreign language center very difficult; you ask for one piece of information and they give you another. However, otherwise I found everything very easy, both during my studies and with the graduation ceremony staff, they were very attentive...

Gregori Molinaro

I couldn't believe that the university I graduated from, which I've always spoken so highly of (because of the professors I had), charges alumni to send you a simple piece of paper listing the subjects of the (very expensive) course they paid to take. It's not cheap, more than $200.
Sad.

Gisele Dallazen de Matos

My experiences here have been the best of my life so far. I learned so much here, both professionally and personally. The University is a benchmark in teaching and innovation, always striving for the best for the community and the students who seek this institution!

Bárbara Caroline Abreu

Terrible, the teachers don't teach, the tutors don't even know how to read or speak properly because they never answer questions or know what to do. They just want your money. If you have a choice, choose another option because you won't learn anything here.

Daive Cerveja Artesanal

It's shameful to have these animals and not have them available for public viewing. When I was a child, I always came here and was fascinated. Now that I have daughters, I haven't been able to show them to them yet. What's stopping them from visiting? Money?

Andrielle Piardi

It's a very good university, good infrastructure, good professors and professionals; it's really a good place to study. NOTE: On the first day of class, they gave out pastries, brigadeiros (Brazilian chocolate fudge balls), and juice to the students.

Extraction is one of those films that has been made countless times over the years, especially in the 80s. Films featuring invincible protagonists, scenes full of gunfights, explosions, and extreme violence became tiresome over the decades. …

Débora Bós e Silva

The University of Caxias do Sul has a very good structure, with an excellent library. I would like to highlight that during the pandemic it was possible to receive digital copies of the pages I needed by email. The campus is very pleasant, …

Fabiana Gomes

I'm ashamed to have graduated from a university that doesn't respect the laws, animals, or the environment... The absurdity that occurred after the "Christmas with Family" presentation yesterday (December 6th, 2025) with the fireworks …

Vanessa Mereles

The university campus is very beautiful, with numerous buildings for the different courses. I visited a space that includes an aquarium with various species of fish, and it tells a bit about the history of aquatic ecosystems and the …

Alberto Thomé

It's the community university of Serra Gaúcha. I'm honored to have graduated from this institution. Unfortunately, in recent years it has lost outstanding professors. I believe some courses have suffered a decline in the financial …

Gustavo Roniel

Terrible. I won a ProUni scholarship in Torres, but I can't submit my documents there. I have to travel over 200km to deliver them. What's the point of creating a center in a city if it doesn't resolve this kind of situation?

Kaique Ruivo

Excellent place to spend time, stroll, have a picnic, etc.!! Besides being a great place for learning, it has its own hospital, zoo, theater with musical attractions, among other things!! Great location, perfect actually!

Jonathan Barbacovi

The university has lost considerable quality in its service; it was never good in this regard, but during the quarantine it fell short.
With remote service due to the pandemic, it started to meet its demands by email …

Jonas Henrique Chies

Best university in the southern hemisphere. The environment in Caxias do Sul is very good. Park, zoo, etc. The university professors are fantastic. At least in my course. I can only thank them for all the learning.

Estacionamento Lucas

The road leading to Block F is awful, two accidents due to potholes in one week. Passing by UCS is beautiful, but the access through Block F is abandoned...
It has more potholes than the Rota do Sol highway...

Rudinei Rodrigues

The location is good, a nice open space, but the playground is poor in my opinion, the playground equipment is inadequate, the mini-zoo looks cool but it's still closed to visitors. Overall, a pleasant place.

Daniel Corso Bordignon

The university from which I graduated (2015) always provided me with high-quality teaching and facilities, and excellent professors, who contributed to my professional success. Thank you, UCS!

Willian M.

INCORRECT ADDRESS - pin-point on Google Maps points to Vacaria and should actually point to the address in Caxias do Sul
(This always causes problems when using my GPS with Google Maps) …

Paola Reis

A university in decline!
I believe there is absolutely no supervision in the Accounting Sciences course! Monthly classes of half an hour! Insufficient and inconsistent content. …

Yasmim C.

If I could give one piece of advice, it would be: study at any other university, but not at UCS.
I've been studying at UCS for a few years, and I've experienced many situations …

Airton Fernando Peruchin

The University of Caxias do Sul is a community-based institution, but it charges tuition. It offers diverse areas of teaching and research, with graphene being a prominent focus.

Gabriel Schmitt

The UCS cinema is great for watching some movies that are no longer in theaters. Small, cozy, and with attractive prices, the UCS cinema can be a good option for a family outing.

Giron

A place full of knowledge. In addition, it's a space for leisure and relaxation. It's worth visiting, both for studying and for having fun, especially on weekends! ? …

Leandro Lopes De Freitas

My son underwent esophageal atresia surgery at the university hospital.
I have nothing but praise for the professionals, the organization, and everything.
Thank you.

Claudio Pinheiro Jr

Modern campus, well-organized and clean. It has several food options, from all-you-can-eat buffets to quick snacks. Lots of green space in the surrounding area.

Júlia Nascimento Oliveira

Ample parking space, a good place to drink chimarrão (a traditional South American infused drink) and stroll with family and pets, good for practicing sports.

Alcione Nazzari

The best university in Caxias do Sul. And the biggest. The professionals it trains are outstanding. It broadens the knowledge of its students. 10 out of 10.

Paulo Guglielmin

I was at the Banrisul branch and received excellent service from the receptionists, the internal staff, and the manager, Mr. Elsio.
Thank you all very much.

Neidiane Bonés de lima

It was very good, my son received excellent care, the professionals are great, responsible, and provide care with affection, dedication, and attention.

Rose Andrade

Beautiful, clean place, but the teaching leaves something to be desired. The price charged is very high, and the teaching could be of higher quality!

magali r rannov

I really enjoy going to UCS because it has great infrastructure for studying and also a beautiful place to stroll with family on weekends. I love it!

Fatima Ribeiro

I love this place, whenever I can I go for a walk, have a coffee, alone or with friends, it's safe. Quality and cleanliness of the spaces.

Michel Saldanha

An amazing place for those who are thirsty for knowledge and love technology, a comfortable environment with complete educational support.

Jeovani Vanin

Excellent space, very beautiful and well-organized. A visit to the serpentarium and zoo is also a great option for spending a few hours.

Fábio Antunes Rizzo

A place of excellence in higher education, with outstanding service and a commitment to quality education. I highly recommend it.

Guilherme

I've been studying at UCS since 1998. The best institution in the Serra Gaúcha region and in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Lusna Indafa

I will always love studying there, even though it's far away, but I have hope that one day I will be a local student...

Roberta Spader

I've been attending university for 23 years. It has evolved a lot in every way, but it needs to be constantly evolving.

Sandra Aparecida De Araujo

Lack of respect. None of the phones work.
My daughter sent an email about her diploma and they haven't responded. …

Carlos Poloni

An excellent university. One of the best. It's a shame I don't have the income right now to go back and study there.

cicero vieira Knewitz

A good place to spend time with friends, drink chimarrão (a traditional South American infused drink), relax, etc.

FERNANDO LINHARES

Enjoying a chimarrão (a traditional South American infused drink) on sunny days. Ample space for children to play.

Bruna Confortin

I love the place and the atmosphere, the only downside is having to study, just kidding, the teaching is very good.

Liliane Moraes Domann (Lili)

My experience divided into parts:

• Structure: Large, technological university with many cool things to do, …

Paulo Sérgio / BRASILUX TINTAS LTDA.

Excellent infrastructure and a considerable green area. One of the few universities where parking is still free.

Luis Fernando Marcante

It's a great educational institution, but what's a little daunting is the cost of attending some of the courses.

Patrini Dos Santos

In poor condition, although Google Maps indicates it is open to visitors, it is actually closed to the public.

SJ Nascimento

Great place for a family outing on weekends. It's a shame the aquarium museum is only open in the afternoon.

Jaqueline Oliveira Rosa

The customer service center is much better than the competitor's; the service makes all the difference. …

Vilmar Santos

I studied and graduated from UCS, a great place, only wonderful memories of my classmates and professors!

A spacious and well-structured place, with areas for leisure and study combined in an interesting way.

Good infrastructure and good teaching, but the flow of vehicles within the campus needs improvement.
