The results of the QS World University Rankings have just been published and for the ninth consecutive time, the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) is one of the ranked universities.

UFSC is among the 1,000 best universities in the world, according to the QS World University Rankings. The institution continues to be ranked between 801st and 1000th, the same as in the previous edition.

The ranking is produced annually by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), a British company specializing in education, which uses methods of data collection and analysis resulting from surveys of more than 45,000 employers and 94,000 experts around the world.

The Exchange Program for Undergraduate Students (Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação – PEC-G) provides students from developing countries with which Brazil maintains educational, cultural or scientific and technological agreements the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate studies in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Related to this program, the Ministry of Education (MEC), through The Milton Santos Project for Access to Higher Education (Projeto Milton Santos de Acesso ao Ensino Superior – PROMISAES) offers a financial aid to PEC-G students regularly enrolled at a Federal HEI to support their studies. The Ministry of Education transfers the budget to the HEI so that they, through a call for applications, transfer the grant to the students contemplated.

However, in 2021, the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), did not get any information from the Ministry of receiving the resource, and many students are seriously suffering from socio-economic insufficiency.

Thus, in order to minimize the negative impact of the situation, UFSC will provide, on an extraordinary basis, the value of a monthly permanence grant to the students.

The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina will continue waiting to receive the total amount from MEC to provide the financial aid to the students on a monthly basis.

Today, 9 March, the results of another international ranking were announced ‒ the Times Higher Education (THE) Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021.

The rankings analyzed the data provided for the THE World University Rankings, using the same performance indicators, but with different weightings to reflect the reality of universities in emerging economy countries.

For these rankings, the THE only includes institutions in countries classified by the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Group as ‘advanced emerging’, ‘secondary emerging’ or ‘frontier’.

The performance indicators are grouped into five areas: Teaching; Research; Citations; International Outlook; and Industry Income.

This year, 52 Brazilian Universities were ranked, and 6 institutions were included for the first time.

The Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) was ranked 158th in the overall ranking.
