Graduate studies and research
Graduate studies seek the preparation of
researchers and professors who master their
areas of knowledge and are able to collaborate in
innovation processes. The stricto sensu programs
— created at Unifesp since 1970 — have obtained
positive evaluations from the Capes (Coordination
for the Development of University Level Staff),
with twelve of them being mentioned for their level
of excellence and significant international insertion.
In 2013, 37 Ph.D programs, 47 academic masters
programs and 5 professional masters programs
function at the six Campi with 3,653 registered
students.
Due to its social and economic value, the
research projects — grouped in approximately
470 areas of research — are supported by public
foundations that provide them with resources.
Since undergraduation, the institution stimulates
the preparation for scientific activities through
the concession of more than 400 yearly grants for
scientific and technological initiation.
The multi and interdisciplinary collaboration
among researchers has resulted in a high impact
in the production of knowledge, and created
conditions for it to be shared with society.
In a National scale, Unifesp exhibits the higher
rates of productivity per professor, attaining, in
2011 and 2012, the figure of 2,990 indexed articles
according to the Web of Science — Thomson Reuters.
