What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0007046) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 13 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.8★ — 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.

The project is beautiful!!! It would be great to see it in real life; it's too ugly now. I see it from the outside and I'm afraid to go in. We want to see the Federal University of Santa Catarina beautiful!!!
