What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0004742) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 37 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.5★ — 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.

Poty Lucena

The Federal University of Western Bahia (UFOB) is a nationally recognized institution. It boasts top-quality programs in both undergraduate and graduate studies. Its faculty is predominantly composed of professionals with doctoral degrees, …

Gustavo Lubarino

I attended the 9th Bahian Geography Meeting at UFOB (Federal University of Western Bahia). Its location outside the city's urban area, along with the unmarked buildings, leaves much to be desired for a federal university. …

Vinicius Ferreira e Silva

A public federal university in the west. There are many course options. Access is a bit difficult because it's far away. There are bus lines every 30 minutes or less. The entrance is on the side of the building.

Alexandre Varão

An excellent university. Like any university, it lacks many things, but for a federal university in the interior, this one is quite well-structured, with good equipment, excellent professors and researchers.

Maianne Gomes

A well-structured university. With an elevator, air conditioning in all classrooms, ample space, and well-equipped laboratories... A great option for studying. Plus, an organized and well-equipped library.

Ronaldo Araújo

Despite being a newcomer to the market, the university has demonstrated extensive knowledge in areas such as faculty, infrastructure, and teaching.

Italo Silva

The best university in the west! Great laboratories. Excellent professors! Very good university restaurant.

A portrait of the chaos and neglect of Brazilian public education promoted by this misgovernment!

It's a bit outside the city; take Line 15, which runs along the main avenue in Barreiras.

For a young university, both the physical infrastructure and the faculty are exceptional.

Normando Feijo

Very good university. However, the facilities are old and in need of renovation.
