What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002056) — 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 4.5★ — 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.

Paulo Moura

The Student Support Center - CAE 47-99204-6486 needs to respect the response time on WhatsApp. After the conversation begins, they take too long to respond. Often, after 30 minutes. This is not the first time this has happened, and it is not the first time I have expressed my dissatisfaction with the service.

Okami Okami

The organization of student support by phone at the Bom Retiro unit leaves MUCH to be desired. Calling there is asking to suffer for at least 10 minutes listening to interrupted and random fragments of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik without any kind of response or digital assistance, SIMPLY NOTHING.

Sandra

My son only played volleyball twice a month, and I don't even live in Joinville anymore, and they have the nerve to charge me. They didn't even ask if my son was going to continue; they just started charging him. Lack of communication. I didn't like it and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Matheus

Unfortunately, my experience wasn't good. I was studying Gastronomy, the tuition fees kept increasing, and when I had one year left to graduate, I was in the technical part of the course and the professors didn't help me. I no longer had any support and I dropped out of college.

Franz Zanow

Beware of the 50% scholarship at Univille. Students with a 50% scholarship in high school are not eligible for ProUni. This is a rule from the Ministry of Education (MEC). Nobody informs you – you only find out when you submit your ProUni application. Then it's too late...

gabriely lima

I requested a statement more than 10 days ago, even though the deadline for issuance is 5 days. I send messages on WhatsApp and they respond with a standard message, and because of this I'm going to lose my right to an internship. I wouldn't recommend this college to anyone.

Frederico

I can't speak to the quality of teaching at the institution, but the campus is wonderful, it has a beautiful landscaping design, a huge library, a botanical garden with a vegetable garden and a trail. The library has a wonderful employee named Guilherme.

Aline Cardoso

Excellent structure. It leaves something to be desired in terms of teaching facilities and the quality of service from some staff members. It doesn't have many scholarship options, however, it offers a wide variety of courses. I don't recommend it.

aisha 1

The college is unprepared, they charged me the wrong tuition, enrolled me in the wrong subject, the coordinators are arrogant, the psychologists gossip about everything to the professors, and when we complain about something, they take days …

Adriana Barreto Borges

The saddest thing was hearing from the head of the pedagogy and literature coordination that I am not or do not belong to Univille. After completing one degree and starting another for 3 years, I asked for help to finish the course... And I …

Maria Paula Bitencourt Delfino

Unfortunately, I made a terrible choice in 2019 to begin my studies at Univille. I suspended my studies in May 2021 because I received no support whatsoever regarding an administrative issue that needed resolving. I am currently completing …

University with good infrastructure, well organized, a reference in several areas. I studied here and participated in research projects, and I don't regret a single day, I even miss it! The environment is calm and welcoming, the service in …

Amanda Rover

The university has excellent and extensive infrastructure. However, they fall short in customer service; they are slow to respond on WhatsApp or sometimes don't respond at all. They also don't answer the phone; you have to go there in person.

Dexter

I studied Accounting and Business Administration in the 80s/90s (former FURJ) and I always thought it was absurd that this "university" wasn't free, a disparity for a rich city like our Joinville. Besides the courses being very expensive, …

My name is Amaro Carlos and I am trying to contact the institution via WhatsApp, but the person responsible for assisting those interested in becoming students is simply online and ignoring messages. I called via WhatsApp and they didn't …

It's a great place to study. I did my undergraduate degree at Univille and I'm currently a master's student there. I consider myself part of the Univille family... It's a welcoming university with excellent professors (there are some who …

Raquel Luísa Pereira Carnin

My son passed the entrance exam for medical school in 2025, and when he went to enroll, he was misled by the attendant into believing it would be easy to get a scholarship from the free university program, which was not the case. Parents …

Mary Goulart

We attended an event at the venue with over 200 people, the parking lot was flooded, and at breakfast time, around 8:30, it took us 40 minutes to buy a cheese bread! Not to mention lunch, where we had to walk 200-300 meters to get to the …

David Oliveira

The finances are completely opaque, the university administration defends toxic and racist professors against students... it's quite complicated. I haven't requested a transfer only because there isn't another good course for me in the city.

Juliana Santos

Given the size of the university, it should offer more welcoming student services, especially for newcomers seeking scholarships. The service is mediocre, lacking explanation and assistance. Similarly, while there's a manual for issuing …

Edith (pessoal)

There are simply no classes!! We pay an exorbitant amount for content that doesn't exist. Weeks go by and there isn't a single class!! There's always one excuse or another, and there are no classes; they're just money-grabs, that's all …

Gessyca Araujo

Unfortunately, my experience at the university has been very disappointing. Students don't receive the necessary support, and often, when we seek clarification about exams, assignments, or course content, we are ignored or treated with …

Andre_ verksted

Terrible service. Besides being unwilling and rude, they only provide incomplete information, if they respond at all. Their support is practically useless and couldn't help me with almost anything regarding the registration and …

Gabriela Pessoa

My children attend the school located on the university campus. It's a large school with many extracurricular activities and excellent teachers. The university is also large, well-maintained, and offers a wide variety of courses.

Alzira Gandolphi

Better than expected, two young people listening to the account of a scam at Valdir stores 5 months ago. A saga that's almost over. Grateful that it's almost over... The Professor is Dr. Fernando, very kind... Good morning... …

Lidia Nascimento

I love studying here, I've developed several skills in the graphic design course, the environment is wonderful with many opportunities for learning and interaction. The teachers are very nice.

Cristina Keiko Yamaguchi

I loved getting to know Univille!!! The University is spacious, has excellent hospitality, and is very warm and welcoming to people!!!
It was a great learning experience to be here!!!

Janaína Bittencourt

I went to the dental clinic for my child, the service was very good, and the parking inside Univille is paid, "Estapar" if I'm not mistaken. All health recommendations were followed.

JAQUELINE MíRIAN

Excellent service at the administrative office in the elementary and high school education area.
The swimming academy exceeded expectations, Professor Beatriz gets a ten out of …

Bruna Borinelli

Large library with a good collection. Rooms for individual and group study. Computers with internet access for research. Serves the general public, not just Univille students.

J C M

They never answer the phone; it's almost as if there are hardly any employees at the reception desk, or they're simply lazy and don't answer when you call.

João Pedro Ribeiro Baptista

Excellent educational institution. The second best medical course in Santa Catarina, great scholarship and academic research opportunities. I recommend it!

Aleh Alves

When we need the university the most, they simply don't answer the phone, they don't reply to WhatsApp messages, they just ignore the student's existence.

Filipe Junks

The administrative service is poor. It's outrageous to pay a high tuition fee and receive the kind of service the administrative department offers. …

Vitor Guarezi Fagundes

Best private university in the region. It has excellent professors, for the most part. Great location. Excellent facilities. Very attentive staff.

Natan Henrique

Univille, a renowned private higher education institution in Joinville, has two campuses, one in the city center and this one in Bom Retiro. …

otacilio rodrigues gonçalves

Excellent structure, in great condition. Spacious and very well utilized. The athletics track needs some attention. It's far from adequate.

Valkiria Martins Dozol

I was very well attended to by the employee Rodrigo and the law intern Daniel. I appreciate the information provided.
Thank you very much.

Eduardo Cruz

It's unacceptable that a university of this size doesn't provide decent internet access to watch video lectures on the library computers.

Simone Batista

Throughout the college there is food, water, scratching posts and little houses for the kittens, I think this is such a lovely gesture.

José Rodolfo Scharf Dircksen

I am a former inmate, and I have tried contacting them via email and WhatsApp to request documents, but they simply do not respond.

Diego Hélio da Silva

I don't recommend it, it's extremely bureaucratic! If you have another option, don't waste your time here, best regards.

Diego Fernando

It's ridiculous to have to pay for parking on a Sunday! Curitiba and other cities don't need this! Just a suggestion!

Milena Gerent
