Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Selection and Enrollment
Can I go to the Graduate Department to apply for the selection process?
No. Applications can only be made electronically. More information can be obtained here.
Must I have the prior acceptance of a supervisor to participate in the selection process?
Yes. It is necessary to have the approval of an advisor. Contact possible advisors to check their availability for guidance and the existence of research projects in the desired areas. It is important to always check the requirements of the public notice of the selection process..
Can I be accepted if there are no advisors available on the research topic that interests me?
Not. We recommend that candidates inform themselves about the research lines of each accredited program advisor.
How many entries do the courses have per year? What are the dates?
The selection and ranking process for scholarships takes place twice a year and more information can be obtained here. The PPG-Physics/UFABC may offer, via a specific Public Notice, a selection for admission to the master's/doctoral course in continuous flow for students who choose not to receive a scholarship from the institutional quota of the Program.
Can I enroll in 2 master's and/or doctoral courses at UFABC or another public institution?
