Free Master’s Degree with Two Research Areas
Recognized by CAPES, ProfEPT (Professional Master’s Program in Professional and Technological Education) offers 22 spots at IFS, divided between broad competition and candidates who already work as employees of the Federal Network for Professional, Scientific, and Technological Education.
This program aims to train professionals to improve technical and technological education through in-depth studies and research.
The course is offered in two research lines: “Educational Practices in EPT” and “Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces in EPT”.
The first line focuses on developing innovative pedagogical practices tailored to the needs of professional education; the second, in turn, proposes the development of studies that recover and value the memory of educational spaces.
Who Can Apply?
Applicants must hold at least a bachelor’s degree.
For employees, it is necessary to prove effective ties with the Federal Network of Education, Science, and Technology, ensuring that the studies conducted can lead to direct improvements for this education network.
Meanwhile, candidates from the broad competition must demonstrate recent experience of at least one semester, between the years 2023 and 2024, in activities related to teaching or educational management within the field of EPT.
Selection Process and Calendar
The selection process is conducted in a single stage, through the National Access Exam (ENA), which will take place on February 23, 2025.
This exam consists of 50 objective questions covering topics such as conceptual and historical bases of EPT, research methodologies, and teaching theories and practices.
The results of the ENA will be announced on March 18, 2025, allowing approved candidates to prepare for the start of classes, which will be held in April of the same year.
The course structure includes a combination of in-person and distance activities, depending on the curriculum content and the nature of the curricular components.
Applications and Possibility of Fee Waiver
Interested parties must access the official ProfEPT website to apply, indicating the institution where they wish to pursue the master’s degree and submitting a descriptive text about their research intention.
The application fee is R$ 160, but there is a possibility of waiver for those registered in the CadÚnico, the national system that collects information about low-income families. The deadline to request this waiver is November 14.
Those who do not meet the criteria for waiver can still access the program’s notice on the portal and check all requirements, deadlines, and necessary documents to ensure a secure application.
