The graduate program in food technology at FEA/UNICAMP was created in 1969 and currently consists of master’s, doctoral and direct doctoral programs (no master’s degree is required for the direct doctoral program). The program was awarded a score of five by the Agency for the Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) for the three-year period 2004/2005/2006. The faculty of food engineering was designated a center of excellence by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) in 1970, and its graduate program was recognized by the Organization of American States (OAS). The program is taught by 14 faculty members with doctoral degrees working in eight different research areas, which are constantly being updated to meet the growing Brazilian and international demand for highly qualified professionals. There are approximately 100 students on the program.

To be eligible for admission as a degree-seeking graduate student (i.e., masters or doctoral programs), students must hold a university degree. Admission to graduate programs is subject to course-specific standards and requirements, which vary from one field to another. In order to find out these requirements, the student must get in touch with the specific department and request admission information (selection procedures, deadlines, etc). In general, applicants are evaluated by means of a written exam, a study plan and personal interviews.

Foreign students have their requests and documents initially reviewed by the Graduate Program Coordinator of the program he/she is interested. If accepted, a letter of conditional acceptance at the university will be issued and emailed to the student with a digital certification. This will enable the student to apply for a student visa, required for class registration upon arrival. You should not try to come on a tourist visa: A change of visa status after entering Brazil is not possible.
