What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002124) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 61 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.

jair leodoro

I took a competitive exam there today, April 20, 2024. They only made one bathroom available before the start of the exams. It was a disgrace, with kilometer-long lines, a campus that size, hundreds of people there, and I wanted to go to the bathroom before the exams. I had to choose between going to the bathroom or taking the exams.

Jocinei Antonello

I will graduate in 2018. It has been an institution open to new ideas, seeking and accepting suggestions for active learning methodologies to improve the learning experience of its students. Despite the high costs, it has parking, ATMs, cafeterias, restaurants, a bookstore, and a copy center.

Giovan Mecabô

This university has long been a benchmark for quality education, and I had the pleasure of doing a postgraduate course at this institution. The embedded computer systems engineering course gave me a new perspective on the areas of electronics and biomedicine.

Jurajones

I completed my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at this institution, receiving high-quality classes and always being taught by very well-prepared professors. I can confidently say that the UNESCO certification I received makes a difference in my life.

Jair Oliveira (jairoliveer)

A different kind of building, with a huge auditorium and food court, including popular options...even a high school...really cool...ample parking...in Joaçaba/SC...City of hills....if you're not confident on the hills, practice beforehand...hahahahaha

The medical school does not respect pregnant students, attempting to coerce them into dropping out even with a doctor's certificate and a plan to make up for the missed activities. The coordinator and director of undergraduate studies do …
