Internet Systems
The Internet Systems course aims to train professionals specialized in web system development, a highly valued field in the technology market.
With the growth of business digitalization and digital transformation, professionals in this area have become increasingly in demand.
Throughout the undergraduate program, students will learn about website and application programming, information security, as well as server management and other technologies related to building digital solutions.
In-Person Meetings at Regional Hubs
Although offered in a distance format, the courses require mandatory in-person meetings at regional hubs.
These meetings will occur on saturdays and sundays, from 8 AM to 6 PM, and are a requirement to ensure student integration and the completion of practical activities.
The selected hubs for the in-person meetings are:
- Higher Technology Course in Tourism Management:
Alto Paraíso de Goiás, Caldas Novas, Mineiros, Pirenópolis, and São Miguel do Araguaia. - Higher Technology Course in Internet Systems:
Alto Paraíso de Goiás, Luziânia, Mineiros, Porangatu, and São Miguel do Araguaia.
These locations were strategically chosen to meet the demand from various regions of the State, facilitating access for students from different cities.
With this, UEG aims to ensure that educational opportunities reach all corners of Goiás, including those living in smaller municipalities that do not have easy access to higher education institutions.

Distance education has been increasingly attracting followers due to its flexibility and practicality.
Students can organize their study schedule according to their availability and needs.
