What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0005849) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 78 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.

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.

Real reviews from students.

Paloma Souza

It's a cool institution, good infrastructure, but unfortunately its consultants are awful, they don't know how to explain things properly, they're not polite at all, and they show no interest in attracting new students. Unfortunately, they don't offer many discount options or affordable prices.

Davi Vitor

It was a UNIQUE experience going to UNIVALE. I really enjoyed getting to know the place and seeing where we, as high school students, will one day be entering. We took a technical tour of the library, the science park, the recording studio, and the Anatomy lab. The reception was very good.

Cris Mendes

The largest higher education institution in Governador Valadares. Excellent infrastructure. The campus in the university district boasts a beautiful and privileged view of Pico da Ibituruna and the Rio Doce. It offers undergraduate, postgraduate (lato sensu), and master's degree programs.

Gilsa Santos

Beautiful view of Ibituruna... following the banks of the Rio Doce... magnificent. It has an excellent library and very good professors. It has a large and beautiful campus; I think they should think a little more about accessibility to reach 100% infrastructure.

Fábio FGP

I started my university studies here. I moved to another city for another reason. But later I discovered that it was good that I had gone, because that way I could see that the quality of teaching at this university, which was once excellent, had declined.

Yuri

The campus is beautiful, large, has a lovely view of the Rio Doce and Pico da Ibituruna, and has interesting places to spend time during breaks during the day. However, most of the classrooms in Building 2 don't have air conditioning – or, …

rafael dos santos

A great institution, with a good infrastructure of varied laboratories, auditoriums and classrooms. It offers courses in the most diverse areas of knowledge. In addition to offering the community free services in the areas of dentistry, …

Daniel Soares

The campus is great and has the best university infrastructure available in the city; however, the administration has increased tuition fees and hired less qualified professors, leading to a decline in the quality of the courses.

nei neizinho

I didn't study there, but I had dental treatment with the students and I was well taken care of. I'm not just saying this to flatter them, it's true, they are very careful and professional in what they do.

Sebastiao Pereira

Wonderful experience at Univale.
My 99-year-old father was attended to by a highly competent team composed of Larissa and Bruno under the supervision of a professional with proven experience. …

nivaldo teodoro alves Teodoro

My experience was good, the infrastructure was very good!

However, it leaves much to be desired! (THERE ARE NO PUBLIC BATHROOMS EVEN THOUGH IT'S A VERY LARGE SPACE ACCESSED BY MANY PEOPLE!)

Lívia Vilela

Large campus with a beautiful view. Tuition is considerably expensive, and the college has the opportunity to offer students a better infrastructure, which is not what we see.

Samuel Gomes - Corretor

A great educational institution, with exceptional teachers, which, like others, suffers from a lack of support and neglect from our municipal, state, and federal governments.
