What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0007807) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 109 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.

Marco Aurelio G. S.Hintz

Excellent, pleasant campus, many areas to study, good cafeterias and restaurants, polite staff, and most importantly, top-notch teaching with bright and airy classrooms; depending on the time of day, air conditioning isn't even necessary, and there are elevators in the buildings for those who need them. The library is very good.

Sonia Maciel

It's always good to go to PUC knowing beforehand about the quality of teaching at the university and its solidarity in granting scholarships to students in need. Today, August 11th, 2022, was a very special day when the Charter for Democracy, drafted by jurists from various parts of Brazil, was read. DEMOCRACY!

Pedro Rosa

I ended up suing PUC... That was in 1988. We had many strikes, there were very big differences between classes and also between professors; perhaps I joined during the worst years of PUC, because it wasn't what was said before and, apparently, more recently. I don't miss it, I barely remember that period.

Luca Faustino

The communication course at PUC is the most expensive joke in Rio de Janeiro. Haphazard classes, unenthusiastic professors, extremely easy "exams" that require no effort whatsoever. 4600 reais to study in a big joke. If you want a good education at a fair price, PUC is definitely not the place for you.

Luciano Garim

I visited PUC Rio in December 2023. It's a beautiful university, very well located in Gávea with a view of Christ the Redeemer and native forest within the campus. I participated in an event in the RDC auditorium, which is spacious and well-equipped; the event was a success.

Thiago Fulton

Excellent institution, facilities, and professors. In the exact sciences, it's usually one of the best in Rio.
Very expensive, but every penny spent here should be considered an investment.
I'm biased, since I graduated from this great university! Mechanical Engineering 2006

Thalis Leandro

It fills me with pride to see Catholic universities recognized for their good work and quality of teaching. The university system owes its existence to the Catholic Church itself. May God continue to bless and protect these institutions from errors and worldly doctrines.

Freire JHonorio

One of the largest study centers in Brazil, with a spectacular structure, both in terms of study and physical infrastructure, in a privileged city and in the center of an Atlantic Forest reserve that inspires all ecological experiences within the modernity of our world.

Manuella Vanatko

PUC is a very beautiful university, especially if you go for a walk along the little houses on the back of the university.. there are many trees, beautiful birds and a river that runs through the place.A fresh and happy atmosphere plus a great and complete library.

Allie Roddwe

10/10 WONDERFUL PLACE!! Very organized, the people in charge deserve praise! I took a course there and I intend to take another one, the place is very clean and organized... not to mention the food which is very good! The scenery and the professionals are perfect!

Julio Cesar

Excellent University. Certainly one of the best in Rio, it's among the top three. It offers a wide variety of courses and has an international reputation. The location is extremely pleasant, and its history is intertwined with the history of Rio de Janeiro.

Ananias A. Emmerick

A beautiful space that manages to combine beauty, good taste, the perfect construction of a marvelous church, and also offers a level of knowledge above the norm for Brazilian universities. It's worth visiting and studying there. Those who know it love it.

Helison Oliveira

PUC-Rio Digital — I had an extremely unsatisfactory experience. I completed a postgraduate course in Full Stack Development and there was a lack of adequate support. The content is mostly composed of extensive reading materials, with little …

Gustavo Almeida

Unfortunately, I do not recommend PUC-Rio. The quality of the content is disappointing: short recorded lectures, outdated code without detailed explanations, and weak material. The weekly Q&A sessions with over 50 students are insufficient. …

Ben Ziskoven

I have studied here for an exchange semester abroad, as part of my BSc in International Business Administration. The Portuguese classes are practically oriented and of a high level. Sometimes things work last minute, but if you can adapt to …

Pércio Augusto Mardini Farias

A spectacular Catholic university. The best private university in Brazil. Lots of science, teaching, research, and outreach. Located in the southern part of the city on a tree-lined campus where the Rainha River flows with great charm and ease.

J R

Can anyone actually call the numbers they provide on the IOPUC website? Because it's a nightmare for me! I don't know why they put a number there if nobody answers!!! It's a real joke to play with people, isn't it? It seems like university …

Even after canceling my online course enrollment and paying the fine, to my surprise I'm being charged for the next semester. I asked for the charge to be removed and so far nothing has happened. The payment slip appeared in my DDA (Direct …

An excellent university for undergraduate studies and continuing education at the master's and doctoral levels. Its methodology integrates different areas of knowledge, fostering a perspective that allows students to develop projects that …

Lila Babiuk

The university is very well-organized; administrative problems are rare. The professors are generally very good and helpful. Due to ongoing construction (Gaveá Metro station), access becomes chaotic, there are fewer available spaces, and …

Mikka Capella

The structure is excellent, but it lacks organization. The parking sign indicates "student parking" and there's no way to return... You have to take a huge detour through Gávea to get back to the parking lot if you go the wrong way. This …

Alexandre Zuquete Guarato

PUC-Rio is one of the best higher education institutions in Brazil. It attracts many international students due to its quality and good location. The laboratories are well-equipped and the professionals are highly qualified. Furthermore, …

Davi Escorsin

I don't know about the other courses, but the industrial design course is terrible. Most of the professors are completely unprepared. We are taught to design for individuals, not companies. We don't learn how to deal with the market. …

Nathália Valente

The university offers various undergraduate and graduate courses. As an entry method, there is its own entrance exam and it accepts ENEM (Brazilian National High School Exam). Despite being private, it offers aid and scholarships to …

Maria Julia Cruz

Terrible service. I tried to contact them to get information about admission procedures and was treated rudely. When I asked for an explanation, the girl even said, "WOW, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING I'M SAYING!" I felt extremely …

Ana Thereza Vasconcellos

Excellent college, with good professors, a beautiful wooded area, and always important academic events. The restaurants are varied, one for every taste and budget, there's a stationery store and two bank branches, Itaú and Santander.

Giulia Emily

I was a full scholarship recipient through the ProUni program at PUC between 2014 and 2019. I left Maranhão directly for Rio de Janeiro to study Social Communication. I only had R$500 to get by as soon as I arrived in the city. …

Nair Cauduro

I would like to visit this University. I follow the work of Professor Dr. Frei Isidoro Mazzarolo. I have a degree in Social Sciences from UFRGS, with specializations in Anthropology of Religion and Religious Education from PUC-RS.

Marcelo Tadei

Reference laboratory that will qualify me in the welding process for the 24" pipelines I am building from Maricá to Itaboraí, 48 km, with a thickness of 1.452", the first land-based pipeline welded on land with this thickness.

Guilherme Spindola

A beautiful, tree-lined campus that allows for walks from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It also allows for interaction with students from different parts of Rio de Janeiro and with exchange students from different parts of the world.

Joenia Silva Rego

Today I went to PROCON (consumer protection agency) and was assisted by Ana and Lanna. I received excellent service, a 1000/10 for them! I can only thank them for their politeness and for giving their best professionally.

Altamiro Rodrigues Dos Santos

One of the best universities, but with astronomical tuition fees. Because it belongs to the Catholic Church, it should have lower prices so that students with less purchasing power can have access to quality education.

Paulo Chalhub

Excellence in academic training and qualification. Pleasant location with complete infrastructure. The best university in Rio. Whether for its faculty, attendance, or location in the heart of the South Zone. ????? …

Guilherme Calderucio Duque Estrada

Without a doubt, one of the best universities in Brazil. Excellent professors and a good range of classes. What is regrettable are the current endless queues at certain times in a parking lot for which you pay a lot.

Richard Figueiredo Preto

I've been trying to contact them on the 0800 number to ask questions, I've been calling every day for a week and no one answers... The service is very poor, I'm going to look for another educational institution.

Pedro Victor LVF

Best university in the country! Except for the ideologically driven professors. To new students, be very careful with the social sciences and communication departments, as they border on financial illiteracy.

tadeu nascimento

I graduated with a degree in Social Sciences from this institution in 2012.
During that time, I spent the best days of my life. I met magnificent people, both from the teaching staff and the student body.

Élisée Siqueira

I'd rather not believe the other comments, but lately the university has only been using illusions to blind many students; it used to be very serious and a truly French standard. …

Márcio

One of the best universities in the world!!!!
My daughter graduates at the end of 2022 with a degree in chemical engineering from PUC, and only the best opportunities await her!!!

Thais Gama

Excellent classes, renowned professors! However, the college is extremely disorganized!!! I took courses where they didn't share the material provided by the professors. Absurd!

José Soares

It is operating with online classes and for essential sectors, with all the individual protection rules required by the State of Rio de Janeiro and the City of Rio de Janeiro.

Maria Milla

I'll give my opinion based on the online postgraduate course in data science and analytics:
They sold me the idea via WhatsApp that it would be live classes, and I bought …

Raquel Pellicano

Aside from being a university, a visit to PUC is worthwhile. The gardens are spacious, the architecture is fascinating, and in every corner you can discover a special place.

Antonio Edmilson Martins Rodrigues

Very good. A pleasant place, nestled within part of the Atlantic Forest and full of historical landmarks such as the residence of the architect Grandjean de Montigny.

Giovanna Farias

I would like to register my total repudiation of professionals who treat human beings as if they were machines. There's a lack of empathy, a lack of humanity!!!

Sergio Ribeiro

It is an excellent college with professors and staff who have dedicated themselves to education, professional training, and academic research for many years.

Anne Caroline Assis e Costa

The place is beautiful! Besides being one of the most highly regarded educational institutions in the city, it's a lovely spot to visit in Gávea.

Francisco Dias

A peaceful environment integrated with nature. There are various snack bar options on campus, but prices are more affordable outside the campus.

Mario Pereira

Excellent facilities, on a wooded campus with spaces to relax and chat.
The location makes it easy to access by various means of transportation.

Guilherme Matos

It's an excellent university, with quality teaching, lots of green space, and great facilities, including a bicycle parking area.

Valter Bertucio

A well-wooded area, an excellent place to explore and connect with nature. Even if you don't study there, it's worth a visit.
