4.5 After acceptance from the advisor, the candidate must apply for the Selection Process to enter the Program. Applications take place in September through our website in https://portal.fcm.unicamp.br/pos-graduacao/mestrado-doutorado-stricto-sensu/saude-coletiva/editais/processo-seletivo-de-ingresso/. If the application is approved, the candidate will receive an email with the date and time of the exame and interview (in the case of the master’s) or the interview (in the case of the doctorate).
4.6 The candidate is considered approved if they score 5.0 or higher.
4.7 Since the program offers a limited number of scholarships (for example, through public agencies like CAPES and CNPq), the scholarships will only be allocated after the entire selection process is completed. A quantitative analysis of both the candidate’s and advisor’s CVs will be conducted. Priority for scholarships will be given to students who are fully dedicated to working in the laboratory.
