The aim of Unesc's Graduate Program in Health Sciences is to provide solid technical-scientific and didactic-pedagogical training for health professionals, enabling them to produce and disseminate scientific knowledge and to teach in the health sciences. The research projects developed within the scope of the PPGCS encompass various areas of knowledge in order to train highly qualified professionals with multidisciplinary profiles within the Health Sciences.
The Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Health Sciences at UNESC focuses on the area of Medicine I, CAPES. Thus, the faculty includes researchers with different emphases within the broad field of health sciences, and graduate students will receive training in both offered research lines.

The PPGCS issues a selection notice to form new Master's and Doctoral classes annually. The selection process for the Master's program includes three stages: application, curriculum analysis, and a knowledge exam in Health Sciences. For the Doctoral program, there are four stages: application, defense of the Descriptive Memorial, defense of the Research Project, and theoretical evaluation.
The PPGCS offers benefits through CAPES. There are two benefit modalities: school fees that waive tuition and full scholarships, where the student is exempt from tuition and also receives a monthly allowance. To apply for scholarships, keep an eye on the announcements.
