Admission of foreigners

Admission to IAM's Master's and Doctoral Postgraduate Programs can be achieved through three different processes:

1. Graduate Student-Convention Program (PEC-PG): This selection process is a collaboration between the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher-Level Personnel (CAPES), the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE).

2. IAM/Fiocruz-PE Graduation Program: To be eligible for this program, the candidate must have a scholarship fund in their home country. A committee will evaluate the candidate and their research project to check its alignment with the course's research areas. If the project receives a positive evaluation, the candidate will be interviewed by a board consisting of the course coordinator and two professors from the program.

3. Foreign candidates residing in Brazil on a temporary visa can apply for Graduation Programs at IAM/Fiocruz-PE through the regular selection process outlined in the Public Call.
