What courses are available?
UFJF offers vacancies for undergraduate courses in areas such as Computing, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Physical Education and Pedagogy.
These degrees will be taught in the form of distance learning (EaD), with support from in-person centers linked to the Open University of Brazil (UAB).
The in-person undergraduate centers are spread across several cities in Minas Gerais, such as Andrelândia, Barão de Cocais, Lavras, Sete Lagoas, among others.
This allows students to follow classes and activities remotely, but have in-person support close to home.
Who can apply?
The selection process has two registration modalities:
- General public: In this category, candidates are evaluated based on their academic performance in Portuguese and Mathematics, according to their high school transcript. 80% of vacancies are reserved for this modality.
- Public school teachers: Teachers who already work in the public school system, but do not have a degree or work in areas other than their training, are entitled to 20% of the vacancies. To participate, it is necessary to prove the link with the public school system and be registered on the Freire Platform. In this case, the tiebreaker criteria will be length of service and age..
