Forms of access for foreign students
Foreign students may enter PPGCOM Master’s and Doctorate programs in two ways: by selection or by gaining a scholarship from Brazilian public agencies (CAPES or CNPQ).
• SELECTION PROCESS:
See notice of entry into the Program, observing its specific rules
• BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT GRANTS:
To apply for PEC-PG program scholarships (according to funding agencies opening notice), it is first necessary to be “Accepted” by one of our professors to then continue the process of obtaining the Scholarship. To do this, the documents below must be sent to the chosen professor:
– cover letter
– work proposal/research project
– curriculum vitae
Graduate advisory will evaluate the submitted documentation and decide on the acceptance of your application. The generated document is entitled Letter of Acceptance.
RELEVANT INFORMATION:
1) The Letter of Acceptance is one of the documents that the candidate needs to formalize their registration in the PEC-PG Program. This letter must include the name of our program (PPGCOM/FCS), line of research, and subject which will be the object of the candidate’s thesis dissertation. It must also inform if the applicant is exempt from paying fees of any kind. The Letter of Acceptance does not guarantee automatic right to the scholarship, it only indicates that the candidate is able, from an academic point of view, to develop the studies in a Brazilian university, specifically in a Graduate Program.
2) According to the rules governing the PEC-PG Program, the entire selection process of candidates is conducted by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) together with CAPES and CNPq and ends with the publication of the selected applications on the respective web pages of these agencies.
3) The PEC-PG program is basically a scholarship program jointly administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), CAPES, and CNPq. Every student who joins UERJ with it does so with a scholarship from one of these agencies.
