How to apply for undergraduate admission to UFRJ
We’re glad you’re interested in applying to UFRJ and look forward to receiving your application for undergraduate admission. Here you will find all information you need to submit your application for undergraduation admissions.
To start an application the prospective students must send us an Application Form (Formulário de Candidatura), which is available on our website (PDF version). This form must be duly completed and sent right to Diretoria Adjunta de Relações Internacionais (DARI) along with your transcripts and others required documents.
Once our department receives your documents, we will analyze and process your application and send you a Letter of Acceptance so you can retrieve your visa at the Consulate of Brasil in your country. During this admission process we will get in touch with you to keep you informed about other admissions-related events and deadlines.
Please take a moment to read carefully the Application Forms in order to prevent any significant errors or omissions, causing delays in processing.
On your first day at UFRJ you must contact DARI in order to receive the information you need to enroll in UFRJ and follow the courses regularly.
You must bear in mind that you will have to keep us informed about your arrival date so we can give you directions and useful information about how to get to us. (contacts information at the end)
