Overall, my experience at UFABC has been very positive, especially regarding the Bachelor in Science and Technology (BC&T) foundation. The interdisciplinary model is challenging but excellent for developing a broad scientific mindset before specializing in areas like Automation or IT. The professors are highly qualified, often bringing research-level depth to the classroom. For students like me who balance university with roles in the industry, the flexibility of the curriculum is a major plus, though the “quadrimestre” system is extremely fast-paced and requires high discipline. The campus environment in Santo André is modern and fosters great collaboration among peers. It is a demanding university, but it truly prepares you for complex problem-solving in the real world.
