Description

The PEC-PG programme allows foreign students to pursue a Master or PhD at Brazilian universities with full financial support. Applicants must be nationals of partner countries, must not hold Brazilian nationality and must have a bachelor’s degree. Funding includes a monthly allowance, access to public healthcare and return assistance at the end of the programme. The selection process runs in several stages, starting with the accreditation of institutions, then direct applications to universities.
