USF expands welcoming of international graduate students through PEC-PG in Health Sciences, Education and Psychology

The Universidade São Francisco (USF) has confirmed its participation in the Postgraduate Student Exchange Program (PEC-PG), an international cooperation initiative coordinated by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), CAPES and CNPq. The program enables students from countries with educational agreements with Brazil to pursue stricto sensu graduate studies in Brazilian institutions.

At USF, participation will focus on the graduate programs in Health Sciences, Education and Psychology, which together have offered 28 vacancies for the current edition of PEC-PG. The initiative strengthens academic internationalization, collaborative research, and the training of highly qualified professionals in strategic areas for social development.

The selection process is regulated by a public call, which defines the modalities, eligibility criteria, required documents, and schedule. Candidates must be foreign nationals from participating countries, not hold Brazilian nationality (including dual citizenship), and meet the specific conditions for each graduate level.

Full call available at CAPES official portal:
