Admission with Brazilian certificates
Whether the Ensino Médio certificate alone gives direct access to a German university is not confirmed. Check your own entry in anabin and ask the university in writing. If anabin rates the certificate as giving only conditional access, a Studienkolleg year and the Feststellungsprüfung come first (general rule; the Goethe-Institut describes Studienkolleg courses of 6 to 12 months for people with a Brazilian school certificate).
Bachelor
- Documents named by uni-assist, country notes Brazil: the Ensino Médio certificate with a subject and grade overview for the last three school years; for a school year abroad, adult education (EJA) or missing grades, the annual or semester certificates of the other schools; an IB diploma if you hold one.
- Brazilian university studies: transcript, degree certificate if any, and the study plan (Matriz Curricular) showing all courses, exams and credits per semester and the standard period of study. uni-assist needs no translation of that document.
- The role of the Vestibular or ENEM and how many years of Brazilian university study give direct access: not on the uni-assist page, not confirmed. Ask the university.
Master
- Check your university and degree in anabin. The university sets its own subject requirements. Master rules for Brazil are not on the uni-assist page; ask the university.
- uni-assist pre-checks take weeks; plan ahead. Translation and apostille rules for Brazilian certificates: not on the uni-assist page; see Documents and ask the university.
