At the discretion of the CPG, annual notices may be issued to select candidates for admission to the master's and/or doctoral programs, subject to the possibility of offering the required courses, the capacity for guidance and availability of topics by the faculty, and the availability of scholarships in the Program.
The notices of selection processes for the master's and/or doctoral programs are as follows:

This admission modality is conditioned on the availability of a full scholarship by the candidate or by the PPGEQ faculty that are not part of the Program's quota (for example, FAPESP, CNPq, and CAPES scholarships granted to researchers in individual or thematic projects and scholarships funded by the private or public sector, such as companies or research institutes).
At the discretion of the CPG, students who are approved in a specific selection process for this or students of the Master's program who meet the academic performance criteria defined in the Supplementary Regulations to the current Internal Regulations of the Program (download .pdf 110KB) may be admitted to the Doctoral program without a Master's degree.
