Professor Darcy Ribeiro, who became its first Chancellor, was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of its creation. The architect Oscar Niemeyer designed its main building, the Central Institute of Science (ICC). From its very beginning, the University of Brasilia (UnB) strived for excellence in teaching, research and outreach courses open to the community at large, thereby ranking as one of the most respected universities in Brazil.
UnB is located in the heart of Brasilia, on the banks of Paranoá Lake. Marked by their unmistakable modernist architecture, is physical facilities house 22 institutes and schools; 50 departments; 16 scientific, technological, cultural, artistic and general service centers; student, faculty and staff residences; a University Hospital; a Sports Center equipped with swimming pools, race-track and various sports fields and courts; a Seismological Observatory capable of registering earthquakes across the planet; an Animal Research Laboratory and an Ecological Station. UnB is also about to build its own technological park.
Each semester, the University of Brasilia accepts nearly 2.000 incoming students from a pool of approximately 25.000 candidates for its 61 daytime or evening undergraduate programs. On the graduate level, the university offers 56 MA programs and 31 PhD programs. It also offers various advanced non-degree programs, many of them conducted in other Brazilian States – such as Bahia, Amazonas, Rondônia, Goiás and Rio Grande do Norte. The Technological and Scientific Development National Council (CNPq) and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) support most of these courses, offering scholarships and research grants.
Distance education is another expanding activity in UnB, being managed by the Center for Open, Continuous and Long Distance Education (CEAD) and the School of Education. The United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) sponsors the Long Distance Education chair at UnB. | | Alternate language description | | Not Available | | Areas of study | | Humanities, Business Administration, Architecture, Urban Studies and Planning, Theatre, Performing Arts, Graphic and Industrial Design Engineering, Library Science and Documentation, Accounting, Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Communication Studies, Journalism, Law, Philosophy, Geography, History, English Language and Literature, French Language and Literature, Spanish Language and Literature, Translation and Interpretation, Music, Education, International Relations, Social Work, Law, Agriculture Botany and Forestry Science, Information Technology, Biology, Athletics and exercise science, Nursing, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering | | Language of instruction | Type of School | | Portuguese | Public University | | Type of studies | Accreditation | | University Degree Program, Graduate, Professional Programs | Not Available |
