What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0004636) — 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 4.7★ — 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.

Gabriel Biasibetti

It has a fantastic structure; in addition to classroom buildings, laboratories, and a library, it has a sports complex with an athletics track, swimming pool, and gymnasium. However, the student pays the price for it, and it's not cheap; every year there's a surprise on the bill.

Larissa Trintin Pereira

Excellent university! I feel great when I'm on campus! I've already completed two courses at the university, one in person and the other online, and I highly recommend both! I've always felt very welcomed by the university, regardless of the teaching model! Univates is awesome!

Josane Fritzen

A very well-maintained university with an outdoor area available for walks. Paved roads, perfect for enjoying chimarrão (a traditional South American tea) on weekends. Close to the center, but with the tranquility of a place near trees and dense vegetation.

Luã Scapin

It was exam day, the parking lot had long lines, I paid before exceeding the 4-hour time limit, but because of poor management at the parking lot, we waited in line for 2 hours, exceeding the time limit, and we spent a total of 24 reais on parking.

Alexandre Wegner

Univates is now a University. A benchmark in technology and innovation in the Taquari Valley. Just like UNISC - the University of Santa Cruz do Sul; both belong to COMUNG. Studying at either one helps you become a recognized professional in …

Josi Birckheuer Richter

A reputable institution that ranks among the best in Brazil. Located in a thriving city, it contributes to and enhances regional development. The campus is incredible and the library is an international model. I am delighted to have such a …

Valdir Posselt

It's a good university, it has good infrastructure, good professors, a diversity of courses, undoubtedly a benchmark among private universities. The downside is the tuition fees, which are extremely high, making it very expensive to attend …

WILLIAM JESSE VOLEK

One of the best university infrastructures in the WORLD! With great architectural designs that define its appearance, one of the most striking is the cultural center where the library is located. There is also a concern for nature, which …

Mary Caetano

Congratulations to UNIVATES. I was a professor at UPF, and this is my first time visiting UNIVATES. I returned enchanted by its progress, beauty, and organization. May its success in the university field always continue to grow. …

Bruna Do Nascimento

Their customer service via WhatsApp is terrible; they take hours to respond, and most of the replies are automated—and these are actually human agents, not robots. The responses are all copy-and-paste and don't clarify anything.

Fernanda Marcon

Zero stars! Terrible service, terrible institution! Unwilling staff, they don't care about the customer's opinion, they say the CUSTOMER IS WRONG! Unbelievable lack of respect for an institution that should have so much prestige.

MILENA MARIA DA SILVA

My experience with Univates was deeply frustrating and painful.
My graduation, which should have been a moment of celebration after years of effort, turned into a real nightmare due to institutional failures and a total lack …

Guilherme João Mantovani

A modern, welcoming university, a pioneer in inclusion and diversity in education, with state-of-the-art infrastructure and teaching focused not only on developing technical skills, but also behavioral competencies.

It was really cool because on October 3rd and 4th, my classmates and I participated in the Science Fair on that day.
And also, my school won the shadow puppet theater award from ???? ???? ????!! …

Alex Sandro Theves

Ignoring the university administration's partisan ideology, the place is pleasant, with good landscaping and excellent access... It's one of the leading higher education institutions in the region.

Cássio Fracalossi

You have to be here to see the university's infrastructure and its beauty, not to mention the excellent faculty and the projects developed here, especially my Law project, it's fantastic!!!!

Luiz Ledur

An overpriced university where the "student" graduates semi-illiterate, with an extremely expensive parking lot that's paid for separately, but it does have a lake, which is nice.

Luciane Marivete de Assis

The places are clean and well-structured to meet the demand. I think the landscaping is beautiful. The way the trees were cared for and maintained between the buildings is lovely.

Luís Felipe Gerhardt

One of the best in the state.
Great teachers and infrastructure.
It's impossible to describe in a few words, but it's one of the best choices for most of the courses offered.

Igon Andriolli

Good in terms of teaching and excellent in terms of infrastructure, however, the prices are very high; only the upper class can afford to study there without student loans.

Victor Oliveira

The tuition fees are outrageous, and even changing institutions is a hassle. I've spent the equivalent of a car's worth of money in three years of a technical course.

Gabriel Zaude

I know a friend who is studying mechanical engineering and is an excellent professional. I recommend the university that gave him a solid foundation for life.

Cássia Alves

The campus boasts classrooms, laboratories, and a wide range of services. Today, it can be said that Univates is the best university in the Taquari Valley.

It teaches the basics but charges a lot! Compared to other colleges, I consider it bad! Its infrastructure is good!
