First of all, yes, seems impossible for me to get into med school here as I will likely never master Portuguese literature...



Indeed, med school has specific requirements as to Vestibular independent of whether it's a public or private university. Passing a Full vestibular is required. This includes port grammar and literature and of course Brazilian History. This can be very hard for a gringo to pass. On the other hand, with a BS you can get easily into another course, like me, Law for example. The only requrement for me was to write 30 lines about a subject they gave me. This was then "checked" for cohesiveness and I was in. By the way, I study at Estácio, Menezes Cortes/Centro.

sven - Was that BS 'validated' by a university here in Brazil? I imagine the same would apply for a BA. I am just checking on 'the varieties of the human experience'. I passed two different interpretação de texto entrance exams but never was able get to the matriculação stage for lack of enough students to fill out a turma.

Hi Sven,

Wow. So my B.S. would allow me to do graduate school here without a lot of testing?

That's ironic in my opinion. Medicine is probably the easiest subject to study for someone with even intermediate Portuguese, because a lot of the vocab is shared with other languages, and most of the work is not based on your correct use of grammar.

Yes, but you need to have it revalidated by a public university UERJ, UFRJ.

MEDICINE is another case. The vestibular is required by law and extremely comprehensive, especially in terms of portuguese.

For law on the other hand I had to write 30 lines on "A Grande Familia" LOL

That's not my BS it's berolnicks. I am the proud owner of a non-revalidated LLM LOL

Maybe you should apply sooner, so all turmas aren't closed yet.

  As simple as that: Brazilians are really nice and outgoing people, when it comes to work, they have a lot of pride, therefore, it would be really shameful for them to work in a acai stand, even though they would be making more money than working in an office with their ties on...
  Totally different from Americans...

Is your 690 euros for graduates?

However, despite these figures, I think your advice helps people widen their optionsClap
Tamashin, take a look at this--->

People should be aware of that before leaving their well paid job in the Us or europe and embarking in Brazil.
The only ones in Brazil who earn 10.000R$ and more, are politicians and business people.
 
(example: a deputy has a  salary of 40.000R$/month, so if you get the Brazilian citizenship, think about joining a political party Wink)  


I was earning R$2200 as a teacher in Manaus.
