Steps for the application process:

  1. Before July 29, fill up the application form, uploading the required documentation:
  2. For academic mobility students: https://forms.gle/VVqUepnRiS9QJGtH6
  3. For diploma holders: https://forms.gle/AVsQyUyHZ9XrPxKZ6
  4. The coordinator of each UFV requested course will evaluate your application, based on your curriculum vitae and transcript of records.
  5. Until August 15, the UFV international office will inform you the list of courses you are approved to register for.
  6.     Classes will start on September 5, 2022.
  7. Required documents for all candidates (to be attached to the registration form):

a)Copy of the Diploma and Academic Transcript of the Undergraduation;

b)Copy of the Master’s Diploma and Academic Transcript (if you already have it);

c)Copy of the Doctoral Diploma and Academic Transcript (if you already have one);

d)Copy of birth or marriage certificate (if you do not such a document, fill in the document below and stamp it at the Notary Office):
https://www.dri.ufv.br/english/wp-content/uploads/Name-declaration.pdf
