Admission
Admission to the Master's and Doctorate courses of the Philology and Portuguese Language Program is carried out annually through a process consisting of three stages:
- A language proficiency exam - Proficiency in Portuguese, for foreign candidates;
- A specific knowledge exam, consisting of an essay based on previously announced bibliography;
- An interview, focused on the presented research project.
The announcement that details the process, as well as the rules and conditions for entering the Program, is published by the area every six months.
