💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students. All ratings and reviews are taken on 21st January 2026.

Rafaela

Be extremely careful when handing over any personal information to this 'educational institution'; they deliberately appropriate other people's information in total disregard for ethics. In fact, calling them unethical diminishes the seriousness of their practices, as even the truly unethical would be offended by such conduct.

Carolina Mendes

The parking fee is outrageous, not to mention the lack of information. We paid at the entrance through the app as advertised, and at the exit they charged an absurd difference!!!! They even told us to go back and pay at the booths, with two small children, because the app doesn't accept it.

Leonardo São José

The teaching methods are exceptional, and the assessments are completely consistent. The online system is very easy to use and without bureaucracy, and the service is always quick and focused on resolving issues. I'm already in my fourth postgraduate course and I recommend it to everyone.

Rafael Praxedes

The university does not provide good service in its online courses. Customer service offers standard responses, with no support from professors, especially regarding thesis guidance. Think carefully before enrolling, as students are left without assistance; the only concern is the money.

Diogo Barcellos

I've been studying at PUC for 4 years now. It's always been a modern, pleasant university with a great learning environment. They always resolve my problems quickly. I really enjoy studying in the library's study rooms; they're great for concentrating. When I leave here, I'll miss it!

Antonio Marinho Falcão

My experience is entirely in sales; your supervision and guidance are geared towards retail sales, ensuring complete confidence in customer service and support, as well as providing pedagogical guidance to these work teams. Thank you, Antônio Marinho Falcão Neto.

João

Terrible student support. They're like lions when it comes to selling postgraduate courses, but when it comes to after-sales service, they simply IGNORE emails and leave students stranded. This was all just to dispute an incorrect tuition charge.

Arthur Pompermajer

My brother and I were born in this hospital, which welcomed us very well. In my childhood, I received excellent care from my former pediatrician, Dr. Saul. I also had surgery there when I was twelve years old. I have good memories. There's …

Michel Carvalho

ATTENTION!!! Anyone trying to enroll in PUCRS postgraduate programs using the offer of reduced prices with 12 interest-free installments, beware!!! At the time of payment, the system automatically calculates the interest, preventing access …

Lisiane Schornes

I've been waiting for months for them to finish the selection process for the MEI RS Calamities Program, which is supposed to help MEIs (Individual Microentrepreneurs), and I ask myself, people are in need and you're just stalling and only …

Marina Caldeira

I took an extension course that was very good. Because I enjoyed the course so much, I promoted it, and many people contacted me asking me to recommend it. When I contacted PUC via WhatsApp, I was informed that for referral partnerships, I …

Fabiano Ferrari

Unfortunately, I am a former student and I am truly disappointed with the treatment I have been receiving from PUCRS online. It has become a torment to wait 7 business days for a response. I receive the email about the course being taught, …

Pedro Alcantra

I like the university, the environment, hence three stars. I took away two because, I think, as in any study center, it's very annoying when the professor talks more about themselves and their convictions than about the content they should …

Adriano Mello

I am a student at PUCRS. Learning worthy of a university, quick feedback from the administrative area, well-qualified masters and doctors. In short, it is spectacular to study at this institution, from the infrastructure, learning, places …

Victor

The online MBA I'm doing is fantastic, I'd say it's the best on the market based on my research. Most of the professors are excellent, and the teaching materials are very well-prepared and aligned with the classes. However, I'm not giving …

Gustavo Martins

I enrolled in the postgraduate program at PUCRS this year, and I don't recommend it. Please don't waste your money on this college. First, I agreed on a price that they told me would be the best price of the year, and two months later the …

Inaye Cardoso

Terrible experience, I'm leaving this review here because these reviews always help me. The classes are recorded and played without any context; you can tell the same class is used in several subjects and courses. There's no teacher there …

Juliana dos Santos

I went to the Panorama restaurant for lunch on November 23, 2024. We paid 165 plus 31 for parking, which took 24 hours, and then another 7 to leave the university. The parking is expensive, and the price increases every hour. It's a shame …

Karina Malta

A terrible experience, 2 months submitting a final course paper with delays beyond the estimated response time, requiring a complaint that also didn't help at all, and when there is feedback, the following message appears: I made a direct …

Flávia Regina Bueno

I enrolled in an MBA in August 2020, with completion scheduled for August 2021. However, classes are extremely delayed, and it's now October and not all course classes have been released yet. PUC justified this by saying that the pandemic …

Marcius Andrei Ullmann

The university is located in a strategic region of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul. It boasts centers of excellence in advanced material characterization analyses. The campus is fantastic, tree-lined, with designated areas for relaxation …

Raíssa “Rahia” Z. M.

I do not recommend them administratively; the student service is terrible. They don't allow you to freeze your postgraduate course and make you pay a huge fine, only allowing you to pay in 3 installments without any agreement. If you are …

Gustavo Hummes

Today I was walking along Ipiranga Avenue and saw a review of the college, so I decided to share this bad experience I had. I was a student at PUC, taking advantage of credits for a Physical Education teaching degree at the time, having …

Diana Tuaty

Best private university in Porto Alegre! The campus is all in one place, so everything is very close, making it easier for students taking courses in different departments. They are always innovating and offering new things, both in the …

Raquel Nabarrete

I am a postgraduate student in Human Rights, Social Responsibility, and Global Citizenship at PUCRS (distance learning program). While the professors are excellent and the website is good, my criticism is directed at the methodology for …

CRISTIANE ZACHI

Terrible relationship! Furthermore, I had to pay exorbitant amounts because I was forced to drop out of the course. I started the postgraduate course in the year of the pandemic. With the pandemic, I was unable to continue the course, I …

Fernanda Raulino

No student/customer support. Terrible service, and they treat us as if we're taking the course for free. For the price of the course and the college's online marketing, I expected more! I don't recommend it, and I'm only not cancelling …

Ricardo Calovi

The PUCRS campus is a benchmark. High-level facilities, well-maintained landscaping, and buildings. There are restaurants, snack bars, shops, banks, a pharmacy, and a post office. It's truly a pleasant place. The signage indicating the …

Stefaní Brunello

The professors are great, but the online class system is awful. The app never works, not even using the default browser. They always ask you to open it in an incognito tab (even that doesn't work anymore), but I open it praying it will …

Patricia Oliveira

Terrible choice for my second degree. I chose an online course because of all the advertising and imagined it would be practical like the competition (FGV - I recommend it), but for over two months, when requesting early payment of the …

Marilaine Lara

Recently, I requested the cancellation of my postgraduate course at PUCRS, which I had always paid on time, but due to personal reasons I needed to cancel. I received a simulation of the cost and started saving up the money to make the …

Glademir Rodrigues

I tried to start my classes using an email notifying me of the availability of one of the subjects, but I spent over an hour trying to access the portal and nothing worked. I wasted precious time, got stressed, and couldn't accomplish …

gian b

This is rubbish; the online courses have famous people but seem like self-help lectures. Nobody will specialize by watching these little lectures, plus the university will fine you if you decide to cancel... I think a good part of the …

Luís Carlos Fernandes

What immediately catches the eye is the beauty of the environment, very well preserved with wonderful vegetation. The campus is very well organized and located, easy to find, with various facilities for meals, rest, bank branches for …

Ivania Farina

Tradition, competence, various courses, complete campus infrastructure, easy access by bus or car, parking, amphitheater, technology museum, accessibility for people with disabilities, bank branch, libraries, bookstores, restaurant, …

Jeane Luz

The college is terrible in terms of customer service; the employees are sarcastic. They blocked me and won't allow me access to any documents. When I ask them to resolve my case, they leave me waiting on WhatsApp for up to 6 hours. …

Isabel Fernandes

I'm a student at PUC and I always have pros and cons. The structure is incredible, the environment is great for studying and leisure, and the classrooms are equipped with air conditioning. However, meals at the university are very …

João Aleixo Bezerra

I was a student in two postgraduate programs at PUC-RS and I can say with certainty: I will never spend another cent at that institution. There are other, much better institutions that treat students with far more dignity and respect.

Jéssica Perpétuo

I regret doing the postgraduate course in public law: constitutional, administrative, and tax law. The professors were not didactic at all, the classes were tiring and lacked dynamism. It was awful having to watch the video lectures.

Fabí Daudt

The PUC Technology Museum is a fascinating place for children and adults! It's good to go with plenty of time because there's a lot to see. The only downside is the parking fee, which is absurdly expensive. If you can, take an Uber!

Enrico Dias

Never give your personal email address to this university for any registration. They will bombard you with spam, even 5 years after you graduate, even after you've asked them to remove your email from their spam list 3 times. …

Lucione Vilela Rabelo

The MBA in technology for business is very bad and outdated. Lots of history and a few examples and "success" cases. Nothing you can't learn from "Google". There's nothing practical or applicable. I don't recommend it. …

Sergio Aita

Excellent infrastructure with air-conditioned classrooms, numerous well-equipped laboratories, ample parking, cafeterias, cafes, and restaurants.
Very pleasant common areas. Beautiful and welcoming environment. …

Vinícius Gonçalves Bastos

A university of excellence within the national private education system. An incredible campus, with amazing buildings, classrooms, libraries, a hospital, an events center, and a sports and rehabilitation center.

Isabel Pinheiro Amorim

I visited the place to take a competitive exam. Everything was very organized and clean, and the team assigned by the exam board was spectacular in their service during the exam and in the overall organization.

Solange (Sol)

I studied at PUCRS's e-learning program and I don't recommend it. The curriculum has topics that are dispensable and out of context.
And it's sold as distance learning, a misconception of what is actually …

Erlon Steinbach

They're great for sales, but when it comes to issuing certificates they ask for a million and one things, plus their WhatsApp service is terrible. Look for other specialized places!! I don't recommend them!

Lorenzo Luzardo

Ranked as one of the best universities in the Southern Region of Brazil, PUCRS is a great place to learn and develop professionally in life/career. Without a doubt, it's a special and welcoming place to be.

Lorena Costa

Regarding PUCRS: The content is good and the professors are too, but the customer service is awful. Hope you never have questions or need to resolve any problems. Furthermore, the platform is very poor.

Sandro Carlos Pohl

Excellent! We are using their dental services for children with special needs. Excellent service and good tools. Good location and easy access. Ample parking with easy maneuvering and market price.

Monalisa Modolon

I am pursuing an MBA in Human Resource Management at PUC-RS and I am very satisfied with the quality of the course.
The professors are extremely qualified, with excellent teaching methods, they …

Lucas WD

I needed to access it via my cell phone to print my enrollment certificate, but it doesn't work; the app doesn't work, the website doesn't work. It's a sad reality for those who study online here.

weny brena

The infrastructure is very good and super well-organized. You can find snack bars and restaurants all over campus. There's a bus stop right in front, very accessible and with good information.

marq De Camargo

TECNOPUC, the Science and Technology Park of PUCRS, allows you to schedule visits and participate in activities open to the general public, such as the Open Days, which take place on Fridays.

Heloisa Cardoso

The service is a disgrace!
I was bombarded with dozens of ads and WhatsApp messages about the MBA in marketing, generating high expectations. I enrolled yesterday morning, and so far I …

Amanda Atallah

Excellent!!! Beautiful, airy environment with lots of trees. Good for waiting between classes or exams. Easy access by bus or ride-sharing apps. Comfortable classrooms and good bathrooms.

joell

I loved the PUC campus...
The physical structure of the campus is gigantic and well-maintained, so much so that you get lost inside. You need a map to get around, or have an idea of …

Chagler Zandavalli

One perceives a powerful atmosphere for acquiring quality knowledge, in an environment of frequent innovation, which provides its students with continuous and effective development.

Yasmim Carvalho

Please note that the deadline for validating documents for postgraduate studies is 45 days, even ONLINE.
I'm still unhappy because it doesn't make sense to take all this time to …

Barbara M

I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. The institution provides no support to students. I made a request that took more than 3 months to be answered. Horrible. Terrible.

Júlio Almeida

There are few signs or maps indicating the location of the buildings, including a lack of information on the best way to access them based on where you park your car.

Sabrina Azambuja da Silva

Incredible setting, everything well planned, the gardens, the seating areas, exemplary service. Part of the dental clinic offers a wonderful oral health service.

Leslie Santos Iung

Don't buy online courses!
You pay a lot and they treat you like a fool!
It takes 10 days to respond to any request, they send you to several departments …

Adriano Lopes

The course content itself is good, however, access to the platform and directories of scientific articles never works, and student support is terrible! …

Gabriel Almeida

Don't buy the online courses. They sell them as new releases, when in reality they were created two or three years ago and haven't been updated at all.

Messias Uaissone

I study here. I picked up this university because it has the best postgraduate philosophy school in Brazil. Best according to CAPES, QS and THE data.

Rodrigo Santana Lopes

If you're pursuing an online degree, be aware: you're helpless.

The institution itself isn't debiting my tuition payment from my card. I've been …

Kátia Stumpf

I took the Enade exam at PUC and I really liked the facilities. It was well signposted, had places to eat, and plenty of space surrounded by nature.

Seve Minetti

An incredible place in the heart of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.... Very pleasant and tree-lined courtyard.... Everything very well labeled...

Marcksom

A college with many areas of knowledge. Large. Students receive excellent support. On-site meals are reasonably priced. Parking is very expensive.

Jailson Bento

I had as much fun as a child at the PUC Museum; it's really cool with so many different experiences and things we've never seen anywhere else.

isabel nepomuceno

Super organized, with plenty of signage to help locate the buildings. The security team was attentive and provided guidance to everyone.

Julio Teodoro

On December 18, 2024, I enrolled in the MBA in Technology for Business course at PUCRS Online and paid the registration fee. …

Esther Guedes

The university is large and very beautiful. It's also quite prestigious. At times, the service leaves something to be desired…

Inge Christmann (Bugrinha)

The only downside is that there aren't enough bathrooms on every floor of building 6, the dental school building, for everyone.

Grace Gomes

I love it! Well located, safe, clean and organized buildings, professors, masters and doctors with excellent reference support.

Fernando Martins

As a visitor, I loved the structure; it seems like a very healthy environment, conducive to learning and human development.

Best private university in Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil, anyone who gives it a low rating is a hater.
