My man OsiEnterprise, once you complete filling the application form and successful upload of your passport data page and confirmation page. You will have to wait for the embassy to review your documents and send you a mail for appointment booking, I hope this address your concern.

We are expecting you here in Brazil my Spanish brother.

OsiEnterprise4:

This kinda question makes me want to give you an e-slap… (just kidding) ordinary contonu, Ghana, Mali, Senegal, even that tiny Gambia have constant electricity and they are all in West Africa. Not to talk of a whole Brazil Haba!!!

Nooo they are using candles .....

Phamoo4u:

Lol, don’t be harsh. I asked many people already and they said there was constant electricity. Then one Brazilian that lives in São Paulo told me no. I was na wondering what to believe which is why I came to ask here. I can’t assume any about any country that I have never been to. I have to rely on what others tell me and confirm it the more I meet people.

Guys... on the application form. What does what do I fill as legal representative?

Is your Bsc without a Master's degree

ScalesDemy:
Is your Bsc without a Master's degree

Yes, it is without it

Duisburg:
1. Having realised that the University of Sao Paulo is one of the top universities in the world, I developed interest in it.

2. I sent cold emails to the Graduate Program and the professors.

3. The Graduate Program sent me all the details I needed for my application and when the application would be opened (the next one for Master's or PhD in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology would be opened in April).

3. The professors had interest in me, but I preferred a particular professor so, I went for him. We started working on my research proposal. I read my head out. I was also preparing for the entrance exam without which one cannot move to the next stage.

There were two stages:

Stage 1: Entrance exam.

I was asked to provide the details of a Professor here in Nigeria who would receive my questions. I sent them. They sent the professor on the day of the exam. The exam contained 12 questions. We were asked to answer five. It was set in the area of Biochemistry, Mathematics/Computer programming and Physics. Each question contained 2 marks. Making 10 marks in all. In this exam, candidates must score at least 6 to move to the next stage. I SCORED the minimum point required: 6.

Stage 2: Interview, CV assessment, undergraduate transcript assessment and project proposal assessment.

I think this was where I won their hearts. I blew the Interview. I had taken control of my proposal and so could talk confidently about it.

Just later that day after the interview, I was emailed to have been accepted for a Doctorate degree program in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology with full scholarship.

PS: I only hold a BSc in Physics and it is second class lower.

God did!

Unified physics Examination... Is this the name of the exam you wrote?... If yes, kindly help me with the template of the question or the materials that can prepare someone for it.

Thanks

Congratulations bro, this is quite inspiring. Did you do a language test in the Portuguese ( celpras) before your school professors contacted you? Will you be taught in English? And are there master's programs taught in English? Please kindly provide me with these answers. Portugal has stopped any kind of visa application from Nigeria.

untamedd:
1. Yes, I know a few people. I thought the age limit was 10 years but someone here said 12/13 so I’m not so sure. The child must be enrolled in a school in Brazil, the process is relatively fast if you have all the requirements. You can check the Brazilian govt website for more details.

2. It’s not easy to get a Nanny here due to language barrier and most Nigerians are not willing due to bad past experience, however, you may be lucky to find one. If you want to bring someone from Nigeria, you can apply for tourist visa. They can only stay for a maximum of 180 days and won’t be entitled to permanent residency except they are grandparents or siblings of the Brazilian child.

3. Private hospitals range from R$17,000 to R$22,000. You pay obstetrician seperately between R$3000 to R$5000. Públic Hospitals are free. Same level of professionalism but private hospitals are generally more conducive. Black market rate is R$135/140 to 1 naira, USD 5.1 to 1 reas. It changes from time to time

4. Accommodation is generally not cheap in São Paulo especially for short stays. If you’re looking for something decent, your budget is USD$1000 upwards per month for an entire apartment. You might get lower but I doubt considering it’s summer soon. Nice and safe residential areas include Vila Mariana, Vila Olympia, Itaim Bibi Brooklin, Jardins, Pinheiros, Morumbi. Morumbi is home to popular private hospitals.
You might get cheaper accommodation (probably) in places at Centro, like Republica, Bela Vista, Consolação, Se etc but you may not like the sight of homeless people on the streets. Check Airbnb for options

5. I don’t know any.

Am researching for English taught master's programs in Brazil. Will I need a language test in Portuguese to gain admission to any Brazilian University? Will my family be allowed to travel with me as dependents? Are there jobs for hustling Nigerians? Please, kindly respond to me

No, but you can also write that.

However, the exam I wrote was set based on my chosen course, Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology (in my case).

I Know for someone who wants to study Master's or PhD Microbiology at the same school (University of Sao Paulo) will attempt a test set centrally about Microbiology. This one doesn't even require one to write any proposal or email any professor). Only the test.

The total questions, as usual, would be 12. One needs to answer answer 5. Each question carries 2 points, making 10 total marks. A candidate needs to score a total of 7/10, and he'd be admitted with a scholarship.

Don't sleep on it, their exams are very tough. But it isn't, of course, for a willing mind.

Hello,

I don’t think there are specifically English taught programs but your professors will allow you do your work in English and you can also communicate with them in English. That’s how most foreign students do it. You won’t need a language test in Portuguese but there’s a Portuguese class you have to take and complete within the first year of your study. Some courses require language tests in English, check your course for specific requirements.

Yes, your family is allowed to come with you as dependents.

Sincerely, it’s not easy to get jobs here if you don’t speak Portuguese. Outside the university environment, most people can’t speak English so it’s solely Portuguese. The good thing is you’re entitled to study grants even as a foreign student and it’s a good sum. You can also get international remote jobs that will pay you as well.

Thanks for your prompt response. Kindky clarify me on questions. Do I need an agent to help me secure admission or it's do it yourself? Please can you tell me what us involved in securing admission?

You’re welcome.

You don’t need an agent, you’ll do it yourself. Most 2023 application are probably already in progress but depending on your course, you might be lucky to find it still open. Some require you to email a professor directly and some require you to write general exams and interviews or both. You can email the professors in English.

That’s the link to the list of post graduate courses at the University of São Paulo, use google chrome browser or any browser that can translate the page. Once you click on your desired course, it will take you to the program’s website, look for “Selection Process” from the site options, that’s where you’ll find the application details. It’s usually in PDF form and downloadable but in Portuguese. You can use google document translator to translate it to English

Once you get the information, just follow the application steps.
