How the Selection Process Works
The selection process for these free postgraduate courses will be simplified, prioritizing public servants and teachers in basic education. The idea is to facilitate access for those already embedded in the educational system or working in the public sector, while still opening space for the general public.
If the slots are not fully filled by these priority groups, they will be redistributed to other registered candidates. Selection will be conducted through an electronic draw on November 12, a process aimed at ensuring fairness and transparency in selecting students. The final results will be announced on November 18, and the enrollment of approved candidates will take place from November 19 to 21.
Classes are expected to start on November 30 and will be taught using the Virtual Learning Environment (Avea), an online platform that allows students to access content at any time, according to their availability.
Where to Enroll
Registration for the free postgraduate courses at IFMS through the UAB System must be completed by November 5. Interested individuals can access the Candidates Page on the IFMS Selection Center to register. The entire process is online, making access easier and allowing candidates from anywhere to enroll.
For those seeking more information, the complete announcement and all details about each course are available at the Selection Center. In addition, questions can be clarified directly via email from the Distance Education Reference Center (CREAD): cread@ifms.edu.br.
