Studying in Brazil, from the official sources in our guide
Studying in Brazil
These apply to every international student in Brazil, including at Instituto Florestal. 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; Instituto Florestal'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.
Free for students
Tell us what you want to study. Your request goes to the admissions team or to an adviser who works with them will contact you by email to help with your application. It costs you nothing.
Student reviews: none yet for Instituto Florestal. If you study or studied here, yours would be the first.
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
Get in touch
Studies Multiverse passes your question to the admissions office by email, and they reply to you directly. We do not sell your details to anyone.
For staff of Instituto Florestal
Staff can manage this page at no cost: correct the details, add your logo and a description, see how many students look at it, add photographs and courses, and answer the questions they send. All of it is free.
Students: this is not an application. To apply or ask about courses, visit Instituto Florestal’s website.
