Procedures and selection criteria

All those interested in joining the IFGW Graduate Program must submit to an Exam that tests their knowledge in the disciplines of the Bachelor of Physics course at IFGW. The following exams will be accepted in this selection process:

(i) EUF;

(ii) Graduate Record Examination (GRE) of the Educational Test Service (ETS) – Subject Test in Physics.

The EUF is an independent evaluation, and all necessary information about it can be obtained at http://www1.fisica.org.br/~euf/

For this selection process, EUF grades obtained in the following editions will be accepted:

(EUF 1-2022, EUF 3-2021 or EUF 2-2021, EUF 1-2021, EUF 2-2020 or 3-2020, EUF 1-2020 and EUF 2-2019).

Candidates may include in the application form one or more EUF grades obtained in the 6 editions indicated above; for the selection process, the highest grade and the highest percentile will be considered.

Attention:Enrollment in the EUF does not automatically imply enrollment in the IFGW Graduate Program. The two entries must be made separately.

The Judging Committee will be composed of 5 members and will be appointed by the Graduate Committee (CPG) of the IFGW.

Each member of the Judging Committee will review the information submitted by the candidate in the application form (undergraduate and/or master's school transcripts, CV/CV Lattes, letters of recommendation) and will assign a grade to each candidate, according to the following procedure:

- for candidates for the master's course, the candidate's grade (N) will be equal to

N = (5 x NEX + 3 x NH + 2 x NCV)/10 and

- for candidates for the doctoral course, the candidate's grade (N) will be equal to

N = (5 x NEX + 2 x NH + 3 x NCV)/10,

where NEX is the grade based on the Entrance Exam, NH is the grade based on the analysis of transcript(s) and NCV is the grade based on the analysis of the CV/CV Lattes together with the letters of recommendation. The NEX, NH and NCV grades may assume values ​​between 0.00 and 10.00, being calculated with precision of up to two decimal places.

For candidates who have taken the EUF, the NEX will be given by:

NEX = (2x (highest EUF score) + 3x (highest EUF/10 percentile) )/5.

For candidates who have taken the GRE, the NEX will be given by

NEX = (GRE grade)/80.

The final grade (NF) of each candidate will be determined by the arithmetic mean of the N grades awarded by each of the 5 members of the Judging Committee. Applicants will be ranked in descending order according to their NF grade, separately for Masters and Doctoral degrees. The final result of each application, based on this classification, may be:

(i) approved with scholarship, and the list of candidates will be indicated in alphabetical order;

(ii) approved on the waiting list for scholarship, and the list of candidates will be indicated in descending order, according to the classification indicated above;

(iii) approved without scholarship, and the list of candidates will be indicated in alphabetical order;

(iv) not approved.

The ranking result will be communicated to all candidates. The list of successful candidates will also be communicated on this page by the deadline indicated above.

Important: The candidates approved on the waiting list for scholarship (ii) will stay on this list until the beginning of the next selection process. If you don't receive the scholarship until the deadline (beginning of the next selection process), you'll need to apply again to compete for the scholarship.

Twice a year the IFGW graduate program holds selection processes for admission in Masters and PhD courses. Accepted candidates may receive a CAPES or CNPq scholarship administered by the program accordingly to their classification in the selection process. The candidate together with a potential advisor could also apply for a FAPESP scholarship, which offers significant advantages. The application for FAPESP scholarship may be submitted even before acceptance in our program, since the proof of registration in the course is required only in a latter stage of the fellowship installation. The average durations of our courses are 24 months for Masters, 48 months for PhD, and 60 months for straight PhD (without Masters).

Admission process for the second semester of 2020

To apply to our graduate program:

• It is preferable required that the candidate has taken the Unified Exam in Physics (EUF) at least once in the last six editions (EUF 1-2020, EUF 2-2019, EUF 1-2019, EUF 2-2018, EUF 2018-2 ou EUF 2018-1). This exam may be applied in English or Portuguese, and the candidate may request it to be applied in his/her home institution. This request will be evaluated by the organizing committee of EUF. See the page of EUF for detailed instructions. A copy the latest exam in English is provided here.
• Alternatively, the selection committee might also consider exceptional candidates that have not taken the EUF as long as a detailed justification is provided. Candidates with an exceptional GRE test score or any other internationally recognized exam grading are strongly encouraged to apply.

The selection process for the second semester of 2020 follows the calendar bellow:

• January 20 - February 16, 2020: Registration in the Brazilian Unified Physics Exam Exame Unificado em Física (EUF) - instructions and registration are provided in the exam site.
