Distribution of Spots in the Master’s in Education at USP by Area
According to the announcement, the 100 spots available in the selection process are contingent upon the availability of faculty supervision and the alignment of the submitted projects with the program’s research lines.
The document states that 60 spots are designated for admission in the second semester of 2026, while 42 are planned for the first semester of 2027, with distribution across six areas of concentration.
The areas covered are Culture, Philosophy, and History of Education; Scientific, Mathematical, and Technological Education; Education and Social Sciences: Inequalities and Differences; Education, Language, and Psychology; State, Society, and Education; and Training, Curriculum, and Pedagogical Practices.
The choice of area must be made at the time of registration and guides both the project evaluation and the organization of the committees responsible for selection.
Affirmative Actions in the Selection Process at USP
The announcement establishes reserved spots for self-declared Black, Indigenous, or Quilombola candidates, people with disabilities, and transgender individuals.
Participation in these modalities depends on indication at the time of registration and the presentation of supporting documentation, as outlined in the regulations.
The text also defines criteria for redistributing spots in case any of the categories are not filled.
This reallocation must occur within the same area of concentration, respecting the rules established by the program’s committee.
The analysis of documentation is considered a mandatory and eliminatory stage of the selection process.
Stages of the Selection Process for the Master’s in Education
The selection consists of eliminatory stages, all with scores assigned from zero to ten and a minimum performance requirement for approval.
The first phase consists of a written test of specific knowledge, administered in person.
The content and evaluation criteria vary according to the area of concentration chosen by the candidate.
In the next stage, the committees analyze the research project and the academic curriculum.
According to the announcement, aspects such as the coherence between the project and the chosen area, the feasibility of the research within the master’s timeframe, and the academic trajectory presented by the candidate are evaluated.
The documentation submitted during registration serves as the basis for this analysis.
Candidates who pass advance to the defense, conducted remotely.
In this phase, the committee assesses the theoretical and methodological mastery of the proposal, as well as the candidate’s ability to develop the research within the program’s context.
The availability of faculty for supervision is also considered at this time.
After the defense, there is a verification of the required documentation.
The final approval depends on the validation of all submitted documents.
The announcement advises candidates to follow the information and results through the official selection process system.

The Master’s in Education is organized with regular in-person activities.
The announcement emphasizes that it is the student’s responsibility to organize their schedule to meet academic requirements, including attendance in classes, participation in mandatory activities, and adherence to the program’s rules.
It is also stated that the candidate does not need to indicate a supervisor at the time of registration.
At the same time, the regulations establish that faculty should not be contacted beforehand about potential supervision to ensure equal conditions among competitors.
