What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002794) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 108 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.9★ — 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.

This panel is generated from data on this page (WDOMS listing and student reviews) plus general precautions that apply to any MBBS admission abroad — it is not a claim, positive or negative, about this specific college beyond what's shown here.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Carla Andretta

UFV is the heart of the city of Viçosa, with beautiful buildings that blend historical and contemporary constructions. The landscape is lush with palm trees and beautiful gardens, providing leisure areas for the entire community. Annually, the Farmer's Week takes place, featuring various cultural and educational attractions.

Rosana Cardoso

I am from Viçosa, and I have been coming to UFV every day since 1984 because I studied there and still work at this institution. But I never tire of appreciating the beauty of each garden and the entire landscape of this university, strengthened by competence and national and international recognition. UFV: the best choice!

Pablo S.

Without a doubt, it's one of the best universities in Brazil. You could live there without ever having to leave, because it has everything. It's like a city. There are good sidewalks for running and many places to stroll with the family, even on weekends. If you go to Viçosa, you definitely have to visit UFV.

Kazuo Nishida

The best university in Brazil. I graduated in 2004 and made great friendships that last to this day. Besides its excellent teaching, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, in the country (I know the campuses of other institutions, but NONE of them compare in beauty).

Rian Victor

It's an excellent university with a great faculty and, I believe, an overall structure of international quality. I enrolled to do a master's degree, but I think the entire undergraduate program, including master's and doctoral programs, offers excellent references in the job market.

Davi Bastos

The place is beautiful and well-maintained, and the university is of high quality in many courses, especially in agriculture. It's a shame that it has so little impact on the city. Although the hospitals are overflowing with students in alcohol-induced comas.

Flávia Leal

I love that place! It has such a good vibe. The traffic in the city is kind of chaotic, and finding a parking spot is a real saga. I always choose to find a place to leave the car and take care of everything on foot. It's faster and more convenient.

Cleber dos Santos Moreira
