With limited spots and an attractive range of options, the latest announcement from IFSul could be the chance you’ve been waiting for to transform your professional and academic life. But, after all, what makes this initiative so special?
Distance and Free Courses in 2025
Announcement No. 187/2024 from IFSul presents a selection process aimed at distance undergraduate courses (EaD), which will be offered in the first semester of 2025.
In partnership with the Open University of Brazil (UAB), the institution reaffirms its commitment to democratizing higher education.
Among the courses offered are options in the fields of Administration, Engineering, and Environmental Management, among others.
The diversity of options reflects IFSul’s concern to meet labor market demands and offer training aligned with current requirements.
What Can You Study?
According to the announcement, there are available spots for the following courses:
- Bachelor’s in Administration;
- Bachelor’s in Production Engineering;
- Technology in Environmental Management;
- Technology in Tourism Management;
- Technology in School Processes;
- Technology in Internet Systems.
Each of these courses has been designed to meet specific audiences, particularly those who wish to combine quality education with flexible schedules.
Inclusion and Diversity as Priority
As announced by IFSul, the selection process reserves 50% of spots for candidates from public schools. This measure aims to promote social inclusion and ensure greater diversity among students.
Additionally, it is necessary for interested parties to have completed high school, a basic prerequisite that increases access to undergraduate education for an even larger audience.
How Will Selection Be Conducted?
According to the announcement, candidate selection will be based on objective criteria, ensuring transparency in the process. The following will be considered:
- Final grades from the third year of high school in the subjects of Portuguese Language and Mathematics;
- Performance in ENEM or ENCCEJA.
Candidates will be classified in descending order, prioritizing those with the best grades.
Stay Alert for the Timetable!
The announcement establishes a detailed timetable for each stage of the selection process. Some important dates include:

Why Is This Initiative Special?
In addition to offering free courses, IFSul stands out for providing quality training in an accessible model for different student profiles.
According to experts, distance learning is a growing trend, especially for those looking to balance studies with work or other responsibilities.
This teaching format also allows for greater geographical reach, reaching students in regions where access to in-person education is still limited.

Registration is simple but requires attention to detail. Interested parties must access the IFSul website between November 29 and December 19, 2024.
There, it will be necessary to sign the attendance list, ensuring the registration confirmation.
