Ítalo Xavier Review
I had a great experience on the programme. It was well done by the professor from the program. The environment and infrasctructure was great for the lessons, and I had time to do other things in my daily life. In summary it was a well balanced programmee.
Well-structured MsC program
Good classes and good academic support throughout the whole course.
The quality of the staff of professors
Unicamp is placed within the top 250 universities in the world according to QS World University Ranking, which by itself demonstrates the high quality of the staff and alumni. I liked the most the friendly welcome to foreigners and the easy adaptation to the environment of the campus, but I dislike the lack of English usage in a worldwide university because foreigners must have knowledge of Portuguese to communicate outside the classroom, even when they just arrived to the campus. However, the quality of the staff of professors, researchers and even the alumni makes it easy to the majority of people studying there or wanting to go there to get a career with a state of the art and, therefore, high value knowledge, so in short words Yes, I recommend 100% this university as one of the best.
