Brazilian Educational Outlook

? Brazilian education encompasses two levels: basic education - comprising early childhood education, primary education and secondary education; and higher education - comprising undergraduate and graduate levels.

? Brazil is home to the largest system of higher education in Latin America with 2,368 institutions (87% are private) and over 8 million students enrolled in higher education across the country.

? The standard Brazilian undergraduate bachelor’s degree is awarded in most fields of arts, humanities and sciences and it normally requires four years of post-secondary studies at a certified higher education institution.

? The Higher Education system is divided into Public and Private Institutions. Public institutions do not charge tuition fees for national or international students.

? 75.27% of undergraduate students are registered in private institutions. However, public and private not-for-profit universities are the most internationalised and better-ranked institutions, offering postgraduate programmes in most areas of knowledge.
