Em seu reitorado, a Bahia ganhou projeção, com destaque para Dança, Música e Teatro, primeiros cursos universitários do gênero no país. A UFBA alicerça, na década de 1960, dois importantes fenômenos da cultura contemporânea: o Cinema Novo e o Tropicalismo. A Instituição cresceu, modernizou-se, mantendo a identidade do período Edgard Santos.

It's a world in a small circulus
I would say that i love everything about my University. It's a diverse place where people can find great professors and oportunity to learn and live great experiences.
Good but not amazing
We do have a good quality faculty, really capable and rich in knowledge. But, overall, our structure falls short due being a government institution. Different from other countries, the best universities are public here, even if the structure are quite limited.
The importance of updating pedagogical processes for scientific innovation
The university I study is one of the most renowned in my country. However, the curriculum and research groups are old and I don't see openness to innovation in psychological science. My work as a researcher is hampered by institutional bureaucracies.
