Training Focused on Educational Practice
The UFU Pedagogy course is not just theoretical. It offers a Supervised Internship that connects students directly with the educational job market.
During the four years, future teachers will engage in projects that involve teaching, research, and extension, shaping their skills to tackle real classroom challenges.
Another differentiation pointed out by UFU is the support offered to students.
Through the Open University of Brazil program, the course ensures access to modern technological platforms, in addition to qualified tutors to meet students’ needs, especially in the hybrid teaching model.
The Social Impact of Offering Free Spots
UFU’s initiative reflects the importance of expanding access to quality education in Brazil.
By offering a course as essential as Pedagogy, the university directly contributes to the training of professionals who will work at the foundation of the educational system, preparing children and adolescents for the future.
According to experts, the training of educators is strategic for the development of the country.
In times of challenges in basic education, courses like UFU’s become even more necessary to meet the growing demands of the sector.

Se houver possibilidade da UFU abrir um polo aqui em Manaus-Am nós ficariamos agradecidos, pois a UFAM não dispõe desses tipos de cursos.
E o motivo de ser gratuito? É porque o valor ensinado na pedagogia talvez seja baseado no “iluminado” mais ultrapower pedagogo do mundo : Paulo Freire. Por isso a decadência do ensino pedagógico militante.
