About the course
The degree in Public Administration is aimed at those who aspire to great flights in their career and wish to make Brazil and the world fairer by using management and public policies as instruments. In addition to a broad vision of social sciences, the goal of the course is to offer students the ability to articulate, negotiate and make decisions, in addition to solid training to deal with international issues.
Why choose?
Exchange
The student has the option to do an exchange in more than 100 partner universities in the world.
Dual Degree
From the 5th semester on, you can apply for a second course at FGV: Law or Economics. The tuition is only for one course.
The School of Business Administration of São Paulo (FGV EAESP), the School of Economics of São Paulo (FGV EESP) and the School of Law of São Paulo (FGV Direito SP) offer their students the possibility of a double degree, without the need to take a new vestibular.
The great advantage is that the students approved in an internal selective process will be able to graduate in two of the three courses (Administration and Economy or Administration and Law or Economy and Law) in a shorter period of time than if they did both in a successive way. This is due to the proximity of the Schools' curricula, which are concerned with ensuring some common disciplinary content, promoting an important dialogue between these areas of knowledge. The student pays only the cost of a monthly fee even when he or she is enrolled in two graduations.
Opportunities
The work with public policies is not restricted to governmental organizations. Its performance covers areas such as: education, health, culture, sports, sustainability, social entrepreneurship, consulting for public agencies, government articulation, social responsibility of companies and public service concessionaires.
The public administrator has ample professional options, starting with public careers in the State, with growing potential for remuneration. There is also a wide range of options as managers and leaders of Third Sector organizations (NGOs).
This Public Administration professional is still qualified to work with public policies and in Business Foundations, in addition to providing consulting services to national and international public agencies.
Immersions
The course has a strong link with professional practice and, in particular, the international dimension. There are a number of immersion activities in diverse organizations. There are also field work and visits to governments at the federal level and in other countries.
Students must do a supervised internship in South-South countries, including Latin America, Portuguese-speaking African nations, China and India. In these internships, they work in NGOs, governments, international organizations and/or study centers. Getting to know new geopolitical realities is fundamental for the students' training.
Foreign candidates
The course has a specific selection process for foreign candidates. The modality is composed by document analysis and web interview. In order to participate, you must have foreign nationality or be a Brazilian with dual nationality, have attended the last four curricular years of compulsory education in educational institutions located outside Brazil and not have a university degree.
Enem
