Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)

The only other Brazilian university in the top ten of the QS University Rankings: BRICS is the Universidade Estadual De Campinas (UNICAMP), which is ranked tenth. UNICAMP, like USP, is a public institution in the state of São Paulo that produces around 15% of all Brazilian research. More than half of its over 37,000 students are graduate students, reflecting the university's strong research concentration. The University of Campinas, founded in 1966, is centered in the state of SãoPaulo, although it also maintains associate campuses in Limeira and Paulnia.

It has established itself as a main medical and scientific research facility, producing a significant volume of patentable material.

International undergraduates will be required to take a test in order to get admission, which will necessitate a solid command of the Portuguese language.

The most typical airport for overseas students to fly into is Guarulhos International Airport, which is approximately 135 kilometers from the Campinas campus. Campinas is noted not just for its moderate temperature - it is located on the Tropic of Capricorn – but also for its diverse cultural offerings, including hundreds of theaters and pubs called locally as "barzinhos."

Petrônio Gontijo, an actor, is a UniCamp alumnus, as is historian and LGBT rights campaigner Luiz Mott, and economist Paulo Renato Souza.
