Legal Basis: Resolution No. 48/2018 of the University Council of UNIFAL-MG

 

The Graduate Council will designate at least 03 (three) professors in the area to issue an opinion on the intended equivalence.

The Committee may request from the interested party, or even from the establishment of origin, other documents or additional clarifications, in order to duly substantiate its opinion.

Equivalence criteria, compared with national graduate courses:

  1. similarity of area of activity;
  2. course/program duration;
  3. studied courses.

The hiring process will only be finalized with a favorable opinion from the Graduate Council of UNIFAL-MG.

The “interna corporis ” equivalence will only be valid during the term of the Visiting Professor’s or Foreign Visiting Professor’s contract, and will not serve as evidence for the purposes of a public tender at UNIFAL-MG.

 

The document must be forwarded to the Pro-Rectory of Personnel Management by the interested party for hiring purposes.

The “interna corporis ” equivalence does not constitute national recognition of the master’s and/PHD diploma issued by foreign higher education establishments.
