The compulsory school-leaving examination (ENEM) is an entrance exam for universities. At the same time, in some universities the results of individual interviews play a major role. The number of places at state universities is limited, and graduates from private schools, where the quality of education is higher, have a better chance of taking free places.

The ENEM is taken on two Sundays. On the first, the exam lasts 5.5 hours. It consists of 90 tests in Portuguese, English, history, geography, sociology and philosophy. In addition, it is necessary to write an essay. The exam on the second Sunday lasts 4.5 hours. On this day it is necessary to perform 90 test tasks in exact and natural sciences: mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. As with the Unified State Exam, passing the ENEM successfully (at least 700-800 points out of 1,000) allows free admission to university.

Many of the country's universities are much younger than European ones, but the level of teaching and the quality of education are quite competitive. Popular with Brazilian students are legal and medical specialties, computer, engineering professions, marketing and journalism. Most majors require a five-year period of study. Technological education can be completed in two years.

Universities in Brazil are interested in talented students, so if you cannot afford to pay tuition, you can apply for benefits. Almost every university has scholarships and grants available to foreign applicants (students), as well as social quotas for low-income Indians and students of African descent, graduates of public schools.

Two major student funds are available for applicants to private universities. The Pro Uni Scholarship has very strict eligibility requirements - low family income, high school graduation exam score, semester-long monitoring of grades. At the same time, the funds received do not have to be repaid. The Fies Foundation is an interest-free state loan that must be repaid upon graduation.
