How is the program conducted: The Master's in  Genetics and Biochemistry (PPGGB) at UFU's can be pursued either with or without a scholarship, each with distinct structures. With a scholarship:  (typically funded by CAPES, CNPq, FAPEMIG, or UFU (R$ 2,100/month)), students commit to full-time research and coursework, often with teaching or research assistance duties, and must meet periodic progress evaluations to maintain funding, which usually lasts 24 months.

. Language Requirements for International Applicants

UFU offers support or preparatory courses in Portuguese, especially for qualified candidates in research-intensive fields. Occasionally, if the program has some courses in English or a thesis supervisor is fluent in English, accommodations may be made during the research phase.
