Why choose the Economics course?
Founded in 1961, the Brazilian School of Economics and Finance (FGV EPGE) aims to contribute to the teaching and expansion of knowledge in the area of Economics. Since its foundation, it has trained some of the most professionally distinguished Brazilian economists and has contributed to national development.
The School offers stricto sensu undergraduate and graduate courses in Economic Sciences. Its professors combine teaching and research, remaining active in both areas. This approach ensures that the School's course curricula are always updated, incorporating the most recent debates and topics on the economic agenda.
ENEM
