Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
The Federal Institution of São Paulo, often known as UNIFESP or Universidade Federal De São Paulo, is a Brazilian state university.
UNIFESP was a health science specialty university from its inception until 2005. Its goal was to prepare students for careers in health care and to contribute to medical research. The Paulista School of Medicine, which was founded in 1933, was the university's initial core. The school was converted from a private to a federal institution in 1994.
The Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), which began as a health-sciences-only institution, has evolved into a multi-subject university with six campuses. The focus on health is maintained on the oldest site in Vila Clementino, S. Paulo, as well as the campus in Santos, S. Paulo. Guarulhos is a humanities campus, Diadema is a scientific and engineering school, São José dos Campos is a computer science and mathematics campus, and Osasco is a business-related college. UNIFESP provides extension programs, an open university for senior students, and a virtual university for online learning in addition to standard degree programs.
The university's main campus is in Vila Clementino, São Paulo. The institution has developed greatly over the years, amassing hundreds of buildings in the Vila Clementino neighborhood. The largest hospital in Brazil, the São Paulo Hospital, is one of them. In this bustling, comprehensive medical facility, graduate students receive job experience. The hospital also offers health care to those who are less fortunate.
In 2005, the university established campuses in Santos, Diadema, Guarulhos, São José dos Campos, and Osasco, outside of São Paulo. Several of these campuses offer courses in subjects other than medicine, including as philosophy, history, and economics, which are not offered at UNIFESP.
At UNIFESP, there are over 50 courses to choose from.
UNIFESP is ranked 29th in the QS University Rankings: BRICS and, once again, has one of the highest percentages of personnel with a PhD in the ranking. UNIFESP also has a great research impact score, ranking 18th among BRICS nations in terms of research citations per manuscript - a higher score than any of the other top Brazilian institutions featured here. It also outperforms most of its Brazilian counterparts in terms of faculty-to-student ratio. The only area where it loses points is in foreign student admission.
