How the selection process works
The selection process for the FREE MASTER'S DEGREE at UFRJ consists of two main stages: an objective test and a discursive test. The objective test includes 20 multiple-choice questions, focused on essential content in the area of history and teaching methodologies. The discursive test, in turn, requires a critical and well-structured analysis of educational and history topics, with the aim of assessing the candidate's mastery of the subject and their ability to reflect and argue.
To participate, candidates must have a bachelor's degree in history or related fields and be teaching in a basic education system. Public school teachers have priority, but if not all vacancies are filled by these professionals, up to 30% of the vacancies may be filled by private school teachers.
Interested candidates should also be aware of the application deadlines, which are November 13. The selection process will take place in early December, and the final result will be announced in January 2025.
