Key details
Two notable Brazilian institutions have announced admissions for their 2027 Bachelor's programs in Science and Technology, offering diverse opportunities across the country.
The Ilum Escola de Ciência, linked with the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), is accepting applications through December 15 for its free three-year full-time program. It offers 40 spots, with a minimum of 50% reserved for students from public schools. Applicants are selected based on their 2025 or 2026 ENEM scores along with a letter of interest.

The program includes comprehensive student support such as housing, meals, transportation, laptops, English courses, and psychological services, enabling students to fully concentrate on their studies.
Meanwhile, the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT) launched applications for its semi-presential Bachelor of Science and Technology program, open until October 13. This three-year degree offers 1,000 seats distributed across multiple municipalities in Mato Grosso, including Água Boa, Chapada dos Guimarães, and Cuiabá. The curriculum balances 50% distance learning with synchronous and asynchronous classes, 30% in-person activities, and 20% synchronous in-person sessions, primarily conducted on weekend evenings. Admissions consider high school academic records, making the program accessible to high school graduates, equivalency holders, and ENCCEJA participants.
