UFPB, recognized for the excellence of its courses, offers a range of options that adapt to the needs of students. With the possibility of studying from anywhere, online courses allow people who work or have other responsibilities to qualify without compromising their routines. Have you ever thought about how distance education can facilitate your academic life?
Details of Registration
Candidates may choose only one course during registration and will be linked to the corresponding on-site campus, where mandatory activities such as practical classes and internships will take place. The selection will be based on the scores from the National High School Examination (Enem), considering editions from 2020 to 2024. To qualify, the candidate must have achieved at least 400 points in the overall average and in the essay, in addition to not having scored zero in any of the tests.
