What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002128) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 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.

Vicente Gruber

I had a great experience taking a free Internet Communication Tools course at UNIAMA with Professor Márcia Elena Jochims Kniphoff da Cruz and students Kelvin and Tiago (I forgot to mention there are twice as many students). They have more courses there, I highly recommend it, just call UNISC and ask to speak to the UNIAMA staff. ??? …

marcia regina fraga storch

I've been a patient at Unisc Odonto since 2006. The service is excellent; they are very concerned about our well-being. The only downside, which isn't a problem for me, is that you should go with plenty of time, without rushing, as some of the patients are students. It's very good. The price is also good.

Alexander Schoeninger

A community university of excellence, with great professionals and a huge infrastructure! The level of theoretical, technical, and practical discussions is quite in-depth. The university is very involved with the municipality, the region, and those involved in the higher education process!

Willhelm Hirsch

A well-prepared place, a gigantic space. What stands out is the dentistry area, which serves patients at very affordable prices, while also providing excellent service. It's a shame that now, with the pandemic, many things have become worse, especially when it comes to graduating students.

Roberto Wickert

I like the environment, but it lacks a more coordinated movement in favor of innovation, as well as contributing to the diversification of the municipality's economy by fostering innovation initiatives and seeking connections with other institutions.

Raquel Oliveira

The University has several campuses, and the main campus in Santa Cruz do Sul is a pleasant place with a large built area! I didn't know Unisc and came to participate in the XIV Southern Meeting on Infection Control, but I am delighted with …

Diva Andrades

I've been doing hydrotherapy for two or three years now, it's great! ? I feel like a different person. ?? Highly recommended. The whole complex is wonderful! ? I can say with certainty, UNISC, Hidro Piscinas, a family! ? Everyone integrated …

Clareci Gomes

My experience with UNISC is very good. If I am walking today, it's because I do hydrotherapy and physiotherapy, and I also use the dental services, and my grandchildren also use the dental services. I can only thank them for the excellent work.

Sofia Quilião

The university is wonderful, the teaching is high quality, the infrastructure is state-of-the-art, but unfortunately the online support is terrible... Unless you go in person, it's almost impossible to talk to them... But I love the university.

Vinicius Henrique

It had everything to be a 5-star university: space, classrooms, professors. But unfortunately, in engineering specifically, the university doesn't seem to lift a finger in terms of investment; on the contrary, the few projects they offered …

Adrielly Silveira

I've always had a huge dream of studying at UNISC and pursuing a degree in architecture! I love this place, I feel fulfilled, the infrastructure is excellent! Now, almost at the end of my studies, I already miss it. I'm so grateful for all …

Luis Fernando Bergamaschi

Excellent courses, a gastronomy course with excellent ingredients, good teaching methodology, and broad professional training for students, involving entrepreneurship, community practices, pricing, restaurant management and implementation, …

Cássio de Carvalho

Terrible! The agency that organizes graduation ceremonies is completely unprepared to handle graduation photos. Any mistakes made by Unisc itself or the agency they hire are blamed on the student. When I enrolled, they promised me the best …

Luciano T

Disappointing. I took my son to take the ENEM exam, and throughout the entire session, the sports gymnasium next to the exam venue remained open the whole time. The noise from the competitions, whistles, and cheering disturbed not only my …

paula wartchow

Speaking as a student, I see the infrastructure at UNISC deteriorate every year while the prices keep rising! In the midst of the pandemic, they launched a ridiculous discount, made classes entirely virtual, and we continued paying as if …

Nathan Ritzel dos Santos

A renowned university with excellent infrastructure. However, it suffers from a large number of factions and excessive politicking, which results, at least in the course I took, in a few unprepared professors who are unfamiliar with the …

Júlio Vinícius

Completely unprepared. It's fallen into disrepute. Compared to Univates, it's losing 10-0. It didn't know how to handle students during the pandemic. It charged full price for a course where many professors were just copying videos from …

Alexandre Wegner

The University of Santa Cruz do Sul has been a benchmark in education for over 25 years. On average, 65 courses are offered each year. With quality as its top priority, students from all over Brazil and other parts of the world come to …

Ana Paula Arrieira Simões

The Santa Cruz do Sul Community University (UNISC) is a space for realizing dreams and achievements, through the three pillars of knowledge. The facilities include swimming pools, volleyball and basketball courts, an athletics track, …

Alice Nunes D Avila

The university offers high-quality student services, a wonderful infrastructure, a library full of resources that can be used by students and the community, ample parking space, and several food outlets. Just as global resources have …

Psicólogo Eliezer Erohin

A university that offers everything its students could need: excellent campus facilities, a large library, a student center, restaurants, bars, dedicated buildings for different courses, good professors, and excellent student support.

Charlie Colovini Cezar

Excellent campus infrastructure! Good circulation spaces for vehicles and pedestrians! The faculty buildings are sensational; many course options! The green areas, views, and proximity to nature are inspiring for academic activity!

Alcair Rosa

I went to get my second dose of the Coronavac vaccine at the Unisc gymnasium and was very well received. I waited a maximum of 10 minutes and left vaccinated. Congratulations to all the staff and vaccinators. Thank you very much.

Amanda Ribeiro

Terrible problem-solving caused by the university itself.
I completed a postgraduate course and received the documents. So far, so good. At the time, I remember they sent me the transcript with an error in the grades, …

Vivian Pritsch

I'm currently pursuing my second degree at this university. Besides gaining knowledge from highly regarded professionals, the networking opportunities the university offers through lectures and workshops are excellent.

Jorge Bedin

Excellent university, very present in the community. Provides assistance and health services to regional communities. It excels in teaching and is a source of pride for Santa Cruz do Sul and the region.

Yuri Viana Camara

It's a great university, with many courses and excellent professors, as well as adequate infrastructure. However, it doesn't seem to develop some important sectors, such as communication and design.

Dennis Altermann

I am fortunate to study at this university, and I can say that I have heard comments from several people from other cities praising the excellent infrastructure we have at our city's university.

Kurt Rudi Rehbein

Great university, excellent courses, postgraduate, undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs. Among the best universities in Brazil. Competence and excellence. Highly recommend.

UNISC has a very pleasant campus for those who just want to take a stroll. Its two restaurants are quite good. The student atmosphere gives it an extra boost of energy.

Gabriele Couto centa

It was very exciting to be there for the first time as a visitor; the laboratories are very detailed with all the exhibits and objects ??? I loved being there. …

Joao Felipe Moraes

I go to UNISC whenever I can, and I love it because you can do many things there, from sports to studying. It's a place that's always clean and well-maintained.

Rafael

There needs to be more flexibility in the schedules.
We need daytime classes, because there are people who work at night and want to study during the day.

Inri Simone Rosa

I love it! My husband and I graduated here, we did postgraduate studies here, our children study here! It's an extension of our home! A long history!

Robson Oliveira Dos Santos

I love the university. The professors are didactic and the infrastructure is excellent compared to many Brazilian federal universities.

Ludmila Gambera dos Santos

Excellent service, the only thing I missed was informational signs, because those who aren't from the city can easily get lost there.

Diogoismael Schlindwein

Highly qualified institution. Top-notch professors and professionals. Seriously consider studying there, it's well worth it.

Eduardo Bosquerolli

It confused me on the map when I arrived in the city! They could provide better information on the map.

Georgia Stella

I didn't graduate from Unisc, but I use all the services available to the community. They're excellent!

They always take hours to respond, the information is superficial, and they show zero consideration.
