UFRJ's exchange program is possible through the establishment of agreements and partnerships with international higher education institutions. We do not accept "free mover" students. |
GRADING SYSTEM
| The scale of accomplishment is represented by grades ranging from 0 to 10. Mandatory attendance equal or higher than 75%. 1 UFRJ credit = 15 hours in classroom for theoretical classes and 30 hours for practical classes. 1 ECTS is roughly equivalent to 25-30 hours of workload (an estimation of the time that the student needs to complete the learning activity). |
ACADEMIC CALENDAR
