401–500 place StudyQA ranking:3869 Duration:2 years

The graduate program in petroleum sciences and engineering has multiple units and is the result of the integration of petroleum engineering (FEM) and reservoir geoengineering (IG). The program is an interdisciplinary one, with an active group of faculty members who promote the creation, dissemination and exchange of scientific and technological knowledge in petroleum exploration and production. During the master’s program, students acquire a strong scientific grounding that enables them to make critical, innovative contributions at the leading edge of the petroleum industry. The doctoral program aims to produce individuals who are qualified to design and coordinate research projects in industry or teaching and research institutions and to develop methodologies, processes and technologies aimed at petroleum exploration and production

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.
