Surgical Research | Academic Master’s Program
The Academic Master’s Program in Surgical Research embraces the multiprofessional nature involved across various surgical specialties, through clinical or experimental investigations. It adopts an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, while also promoting interinstitutional collaboration. In this stricto sensu postgraduate program, students are required to complete a core set of foundational courses designed to strengthen their understanding of teaching and research. The aim is to prepare them for academic teaching and scientific research by exposing them to scientific methodology and equipping them with tools that foster critical thinking, self-directed learning, and lifelong education.
Applications, the selection process, and enrollment will be conducted on a rolling basis, from February 6 to November 3, 2025.

Special Students
Students enrolled in other accredited postgraduate programs or faculty members from other higher education institutions may be accepted as special students to take individual courses.
Special students are subject to the same performance standards required of regular students, and their admission depends on course availability. However, they are not eligible for degree conferment.
Upon successful completion of the course(s), the special student will receive a statement issued by the Postgraduate Office indicating the course title, a brief syllabus, the total course load (in hours), and the number of credits earned.
Special students must pay the corresponding course fees, and are not eligible for scholarships or tuition waivers, except when the student is a faculty member of the same institution.
The exceptional admission of undergraduate students into specific graduate program courses is subject to the availability of slots and to written approval from the course instructor, which must be communicated in writing to the Postgraduate Office.
Students currently enrolled in lato sensu graduate programs may be recommended by a faculty member of the program to attend stricto sensu postgraduate courses. Credits earned may be validated if the student is later formally admitted as a regular stricto sensu postgraduate student.
This work was carried out with the support of the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) – Funding Code 001.
