What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002103) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 68 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.7★ — 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.

Fabiano José Rodrigues

I am still waiting to receive a refund for tuition fees for a course where I was never notified of the start of classes (online learning); the notification was almost a year ago. I have already requested it from the university and through the consumer protection agency (Procon), and I still haven't received anything.

Victor Augusto

The teaching at the institution is actually good, but unfortunately, the student services leave much to be desired. The academic and course secretariats are extremely slow, they don't offer proper support, they keep passing you from person to person, and nobody solves your problem or issues your document.

Valdecir Rodrigues

It's complicated with this institution. We send emails and they take too long to respond, we send messages on WhatsApp and they ask us to send an email, then finally they tell us to call and nobody answers. I'm just going to finish the semester and change universities because this is becoming difficult.

Daniela Oliveira da silva

I enrolled in the online Agronomy course and was very excited. I have no experience with this type of teaching, but right from the start I saw that it wasn't what I expected. I think there's a lot of hype and little delivery. It's regrettable to see these testimonials because it's discouraging.

Leandro Maia Ribeiro

Run away from this place. I don't know how the Ministry of Education hasn't shut this institution down. In distance learning, the student receives absolutely no support. Nobody answers the phone, nobody replies to emails. The student is abandoned right after enrolling. Terrible institution.

Arena Invictus Sports Mestre Jeferson Santos

I decided to go back to college after years, I had developed a huge aversion to universities, but last year, during the pandemic, I felt the urge to finish this stage of my life. I chose Unec EAD based on recommendations. The first semester …

Lukaa25 Luiza

Terrible college, they just keep stalling, they promise you one thing and don't deliver. They treat students unequally. I was a few months behind on payments, they kept charging me until I paid, then they held me back for a semester and now …

Joicemar Balbé Tajes

I wouldn't give it any stars, but as you can see, if you don't give a star rating, the process doesn't move forward. That's where the problems start, because emails go unanswered, customer service leaves much to be desired, and phone calls …

Jean Xavier

I absolutely do not recommend it. Unec is not a good or high-quality educational institution, and it offers zero support for its online courses. The course is disorganized, with incorrect and missing subjects. The course instructor ignores …

Alini Belicio

Terrible institution. A complete lack of respect for us distance learning students. I'm giving two stars because they sometimes answer me and resolve some issues. Unec should be more responsible with the organization of the institution; …

Babi Gonçalves

Every month it's a hassle for them to fix the portal. If you have a second degree, they don't waive the years; they leave semesters with up to two subjects so you stay in college longer, unlike other colleges that waive the subjects and …

Thyago Diógenes

Run while you still can, the service at this institution is akin to gold. Not to mention that I just finished my engineering and production degree, after a lot of struggle. I got the completion certificate, but I submitted it to CREA …

Paulo Reichert

I'm studying civil engineering, and I used my technology-focused courses for equivalency, and so far everything has gone well; I managed to use many subjects to reduce my course credits. As for the online learning platform, it's very …

Cesar Martins

Speaking of distance learning... I've already jumped in and out. I can't judge whether it has a tradition of quality education! I can judge the lack of feedback for enrolled students trying to start their studies through the virtual …

Flavia Santosbarbosa

People, run away from this institution for God's sake! They don't provide any care or support, it's horrible. Run as far as you can, look for another one. If I could, I wouldn't give it any stars, it's too much suffering.

cicero filho

Imagine a terrible college: they don't answer the phone, all the professors are dead, they don't respond, the administration doesn't reply to emails, they don't answer the phone. Zero stars, I was robbed.

italo Gabriel

This university is awful. I've been trying to contact them for days and haven't received a response. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. They don't answer any of the phones.

JESUS ESTA VOLTANDO. JESUS CRISTO

This college is a disgrace. I've already paid for 4 months and finished all the subjects in November, and since then they haven't answered or responded. Rating 1.

walter venancio dos santos

I'm very interested in studying electrical engineering, but from the reputation I see around here, it's not a university that honors its commitment. I stopped.

Raquel Pires

Terrible educational institution, I'm only not giving it 0 stars because it's impossible.
I bought a 12-month online postgraduate course 7 months ago. …

Laercio Patricio

The communication channels need significant improvement; I can't get through to UNIC. I've tried phone, email, and WhatsApp, but nothing works.

Alexandre Barreto

I asked a question about the assignment deadline, and the tutor didn't respond; communication is difficult, and there are no video lessons.

Unfortunately, there is a lack of respect on the part of UNEC, which has no communication or respect for its students; it's a real shame.
