Studying in Brazil
These apply to every international student in Brazil, including at Centro Universitário Barao de Maua. Each figure shows where it came from and when we last checked it.
Money you must show
You must document your own financial capacity, or that of the people supporting you. Each consulate decides what it accepts.

The same rules for every institution in Brazil; Centro Universitário Barao de Maua's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.
Deadlines and intakes
The Brazilian academic year starts in February or March, with a second intake in some programmes around August.
Allow for the Celpe-Bras exam dates, the recognition of your previous qualifications, the consular appointment and the 90-day Federal Police registration.
Language you need
Almost all teaching at public universities is in Portuguese. Brazil's official proficiency exam for foreigners is Celpe-Bras, administered by the federal education assessment agency Inep. Many universities and the PEC-G programme ask for it; check the required level for your programme. A small number of postgraduate programmes teach in English.
You do not need Portuguese for the visa, but the Federal Police, banks, landlords, health services and all work outside a few international companies operate in Portuguese.
