Despite being a distance learning course, there are mandatory in-person meetings each semester, promoting interaction between students and teachers, as well as practical activities that enhance learning.
Spots Distributed Across Five Teaching Poles
The 150 available spots are distributed among five teaching poles of UFMT in the state of Mato Grosso:
- Água Boa: 30 spots
- Cuiabá: 30 spots
- Pontes e Lacerda: 30 spots
- Primavera do Leste: 30 spots
- Sorriso: 30 spots
The spots are aimed at both general competition and candidates who meet affirmative action criteria, such as self-declared black, brown, indigenous, quilombola individuals, persons with disabilities, and low-income students from public schools.
Who Can Apply?
Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent.
For competitors in the affirmative action spots, it is necessary to present supporting documentation at the time of registration.
How Will Candidates Be Selected?
The selection process will use analysis of the High School Transcript or scores from the National High School Exam (ENEM), considering editions from the last 10 years.
Classification will be based on the average scores in Portuguese Language and Mathematics (or equivalent areas from ENEM).
In the event of a tie, preference will be given to the older candidate and that with the highest score in Portuguese Language.
Why Invest in Software Engineering?
Software Engineering is one of the most promising careers in the technology sector.
With the increasing demand for digital solutions, companies across all segments are seeking qualified professionals to develop systems, lead IT projects, and create innovations.
Moreover, the EaD modality offers flexibility to study from anywhere, without compromising the academic quality of UFMT, one of the most renowned institutions in the country.
