UEL’s Graduate Program in Physics annually welcomes 15 new master’s degree students and 10 PhD researchers. Applications and Admissions are regulated by a public notice, which is usually made available at the end or in the beginning of the year. Any remaining vacancies are offered, also via public notice, between the middle and the end of the first semester of each year. The selection process is advertised in this website and in the SBF’s (Brazilian Physical Society) and SAB’s (Brazilian Astronomical Society) newsletters.

Admission to the PPG-Physics at UEL is based on three elements:

1. Interview (face-to-face evaluation);
2. CV (remote evaluation);
3. Grades in the Unified Examination in Physics for graduate studies – EUF (exams should be taken by the candidates at EUF);

Candidates are selected according to their classification in the admission process. When available, scholarships are distributed according to the criteria established in the selection process’ public notice.

The documents required for registration are presented in every selection process’ public notice. Nevertheless, candidates should prepare two of them in advance:

1. Research project. To do so, the candidate needs to contact PPG-Physics’ supervisors and check if they are available for supervision. Research Projects are usually designed by the supervisor and written by the supervisors themselves or by the supervisor and the candidate. The Program encourages candidates to get in touch with supervisors at least two months before the selection process.
2. Grade of the EUF. To be admitted to the PPG-Physics, candidates must submit proof of participation in the EUF, which should be no older than two years. The candidates are responsible for their own registration and exams in the EUF. It is important to highlight that the PPG-Physics (UEL) and the EUF are completely independent from each other. Hence, candidates should pay attention to the EUF’s deadlines, so that their grades are available in time to be submitted to the PPG-Physics.
