I am a graduate of Master in Public Administration, year of 2019. The program was amazing as well as academic team of the School of Public Policy. The program is designed for working professionals with various backgrounds and interests which makes this program unique. Your groupmates are going to be from different age groups and work environments, but they will all share the same goal of succeeding in their career as well as sharpening their skills. Also this kind of diverse environment gives you a great chance to learn about other’s experiences and grasp an opinion on how dilemmas in civil service or public policy are solved in their organizations and companies. Professor’s were great from the very first day, and became our friends by the end of the program. All the books and materials used were in compliance with the international best practices and this opinion comes from a person who did his bachelor’s in California back in 2015. If you are seeking for a program that can challenge your professionalism do not hesitate to apply for this program or choose NU as your next place to start your studies.
I truly love the University of São Paulo. It’s not only the best university in Latin America, but also one of the most respected institutions in the world. What makes USP so special to me is its massive research infrastructure. The academic environment encourages curiosity, and for students who stand out, there are countless opportunities — whether in research, internships, or academic exchange. What I admire most is how knowledge is taken seriously here. Professors are highly qualified, and you’re constantly surrounded by brilliant minds. It’s a challenging space, but it pushes you to grow. However, if there’s something I think could be improved, it’s the way the institute’s funding is managed. In many cases, the needs of undergraduate students are not the top priority. It often feels like the investment is directed elsewhere, rather than towards improving the daily life and academic support for those who are just starting their journey in higher education. Still, despite its flaws, I would definitely recommend USP. It’s a place that shapes people — not only academically, but personally. If you’re willing to engage and take advantage of everything it offers, USP will open doors you never imagined.
