Curricular Structure
The PPGECM organization is based on the General Graduate Regulations of UENF and the Internal Resolutions of the program itself.
To graduate from the Master’s course, the student must complete: a minimum of 25 credits in subjects (1 credit is equal to 17 hours of theoretical classes or 34 hours of practical classes or 51 hours of extra-class activities), a master’s thesis project development and proficiency in a foreign language (English).
To graduate from the Doctoral course, the student must complete: a minimum of 35 credits in subjects, a thesis project development, defense of the doctoral qualification exam and proficiency in a foreign language (English).
The PPGECM / UENF subjects are organized into mandatory subjects, related elective subjects or specific elective subjects, which depend on the chosen line of research. The curriculum meets the requirements aiming the development of dissertations and thesis within the PPGECM / UENF scope, both in theoretical and practical knowledge terms.
