The PPGF disciplines are offered every six months, with a course load of 60 hours (4 credits), seeking to meet the research lines and projects of students in Master’s and Doctoral courses.
Students in the Master’s course need to complete 24 credits in regular disciplines for their qualification, in addition to completing Seminar I (Master’s project defense), Seminar II (Master’s thesis defense), proficiency in a foreign language (English), and performing teaching practice in an undergraduate discipline under the permanent supervision of the supervisor and/or co-supervisor.
Students in the Doctoral course need to accomplish 48 credits in regular disciplines, and those who took the Master’s degree can request credits in up to 50% of the course load necessary to complete the Doctoral course, provided the disciplines have been attended in the last 5 years and completed with a minimum grade of B. In addition to the disciplines, the student must complete the discipline of Seminar I (Doctoral project defense and defense of a free theme seminar), Seminar II (Doctoral thesis defense seminar), Qualification Exam, Mandatory Teaching Practice for two semesters (compulsory for Capes, CNPq, and FA scholarship students, and optional for non-scholarship students) and proficiency in two foreign languages, English and a second language, chosen by the student.
