On UNIP Campuses
UNIP campuses are located throughout Brazil. Postgraduate students will attend some of the campuses located in the city of São Paulo, where classes are taught and the practical part of the projects is developed. Students from all over Brazil and from Latin American countries meet and exchange experiences in their free time, or in the campus restaurants and cafeterias. People with diverse professional backgrounds in the areas of human and veterinary health exchange experiences during the course and promote multidisciplinary discussions that contribute to their professional and academic growth.
To access the campuses, you must have a UNIP student ID card.
On campus, you will have access to the Library, the computer room for students, research laboratories, and the faculty room, which will always be available both physically and remotely.
The areas surrounding the campuses offer excellent restaurants, cafeterias, and bars that serve a "by weight" system, as well as those classified as five-star establishments, therefore, for all budgets. In addition to excellent restaurants, a huge network of cinemas and theaters showing blockbusters and world premieres can be accessed after a session of experiments.
All campuses are served by a public transportation system that is specifically designed to pass through points located in the block of the main building.
