Regular and Special Students

There are two ways to enter the program: as a regular or a special student. For both categories, admission is granted through a selection process.


Regular admission is the traditional enrollment, where the student has a two-year deadline to complete all course requirements and obtain a Master degree.


Special admission, on the other hand, allows the student to take only specific courses. Once completed, the enrollment is terminated. At PPGEP, a special student may take one or two courses in the semester they are admitted, with the possibility of extending their enrollment to take one or two more in the following semester. The maximum duration in the Program is one year. These credits can be transferred if the student is later admitted through the regular selection process. It is important to note that if a special student does not enroll in any class or fails to pass any course, their enrollment will be terminated.


Currently, the Program holds selection processes for regular students mid-year, and for special students at both the beginning and middle of the year. Follow the news on the Program’s website to ensure you don’t miss an application period.
