PhD and MSc Students (Open)
Our Lab continuously admits new PhD and Masters students interested in working in our topics of research. Prospective students are advised to contact Prof. Jefersson to get some help with the application.
The Computer Science MSc program at the UFMG was created in 1974. Currently, the Computer Science postgraduate program has the highest rating(7) according to CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel). Our Ph.D. program continually accepts new students. For the Master’s, two calls are opened every year.
