What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001814) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 54 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.

It may have the best infrastructure on the planet, but it doesn't have truly well-trained employees. I graduated there in History, and it was the worst decision of my life. I left with several psychological disorders that I still haven't overcome to this day, and I'm taking psychiatric medication.
