The undergraduate law course is committed to training legal leaders capable of working to strengthen democracy and for the development of Brazil.
Curriculum Grade
Student's training is divided into two stages. The initial comprises the first five periods, when the student follows compulsory full-time subjects set by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and recommended by the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB). The second, which starts in the sixth period, is called the specialization cycle. At this stage, students are free to create their own curriculum with elective subjects, taking part-time courses in conjunction with an internship.
Partnerships and internships
Students benefit from exclusive agreements with public organizations, representative entities and international institutions, providing opportunities to intern in large companies and public bodies. In addition, students have access to exchange programs at institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, NYU, the Sorbonne, Coimbra, among others, in more than 20 countries.
ENEM (National High School Exam) and International Exams
As well as entrance exam results, FGV also assesses candidates based on ENEM scores provided by the Ministry of Education’s National Institute for Educational Research (INEP), and international exams such as Abitur, BAC and IB.
