International Advisory

The foreign students’ ingress at UFCG occurs through the Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação - PEC-G (Undergraduate Student-Convention Program), which aims to offer these students the opportunity to attend their undergraduate studies at Brazilian universities.

PEC-G is administrated by the Ministério das Relações Exteriores - MRE (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and by the Ministério da Educação - MEC (Ministry of Education), in partnership with Brazilian Higher Education Institutions.

We emphasize that PEC-G does not offer scholarships.
