Studies (PGET) hereby announces that between November 1, 2018 and November 18, 2018
applications will be accepted for 35 M.A. candidates and 13 PhD candidates.

2. Candidates whose undergraduate diploma has been recognized by the Brazilian Ministry
of Education may apply. For candidates whose undergraduate diploma is from a foreign
institution, the candidate must present his/her diploma, which must be accepted by the PGET
administration and, thus, recognized as equivalent to Brazilian undergraduate diplomas. Such
recognition is intended solely for entry into our program and does not entail validity for
enrollment in other national programs.

3. As determined by UFSC’s affirmative action policy, 9 (nine) of the above-mentioned

vacancies will be reserved for Brazilian candidates who belong to the following minority
groups: self-declared Afro-Brazilians, indigenous peoples and/or disabled individuals.

3.1. Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, and/or disabled candidates will compete concurrently for the
both the reserved and general positions. Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, and/or disabled
candidates who qualify for a general opening will not be considered to have filled a reserved
position.

3.2. In the event that an Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, and/or disabled candidate is admitted for
a reserved opening and subsequently forfeits it, the vacancy will be filled by the next most
qualified Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, and/or disabled candidate.

3.3. In the event that there is an insufficient number of approved Afro-Brazilian, indigenous,
and/or disabled candidates to fill the reserved openings, those that remain will revert to
general openings, which will be filled by the other candidates in order of qualification.

3.4. Disabled candidates are not obliged to register as such under the terms of Article 4,
paragraph 2 of Law 13.146/2015.

4. After sending in their documentation, candidates will receive an automatic email

confirming their application. There will be no other communication or confirmation from
PGET regarding the received documentation. Candidates must wait for the results of the
confirmation process to be published on PGET’s website (http://ppget.posgrad.ufsc.br/),
which will occur on the date stipulated in the selection process schedule (Item 15).
