There are 20 vacancies in total, distributed across three key areas: Epidemiology and Control of Health Problems (10 vacancies), Health Policies (6 vacancies), and Health, Environment and Work (4 vacancies).
This structure makes the course not only attractive, but also competitive, as it is an excellent training in a sector that is critical to the country's development.
According to Fiocruz, the course provides an immersive environment in which students can learn directly from renowned experts, in addition to having the chance to participate in research projects relevant to public health.
Master's selection process: rigor and opportunities
The selection process for a master's degree is not simple, but for those who are prepared, the chances of success are real.
According to the notices made available by Fiocruz, candidates will go through four stages.
The first phase consists of a test of understanding of the English language, while the second stage, in addition to being qualifying, is eliminatory, involving a test of specific knowledge.
Then comes the curriculum analysis and, finally, the oral defense of the preliminary project.
According to Fiocruz, the institution seeks to select the best candidates to fill the limited vacancies, making the selection process rigorous, but fully accessible for those who are well prepared.
Challenges and rewards in a PhD
For those looking to go beyond a master's degree, Fiocruz also offers a doctorate in Public Health, also free and in person.
With a minimum duration of 24 months and a maximum of 48 months, the doctorate requires greater commitment and dedication from candidates.
In total, there are 15 vacancies available, distributed among the same areas of concentration as the master's degree: Epidemiology and Control of Health Problems (8 vacancies), Health Policies (4 vacancies) and Health, Environment and Work (3 vacancies).
The doctoral selection process has three stages: English language comprehension test, CV analysis and an oral assessment, as detailed in the notice.
As with the master's degree, selection for the doctorate is rigorous, but it offers a unique opportunity to advance in a high-level academic or professional career.
How to secure your spot?
If you are interested, the registration process is done entirely online, through the SIGASS Platform, available on the Fiocruz website (http://www.sigass.fiocruz.br/).
