Overview
Universidade de Santo Amaro (UNISA) is a private university in the Greater Sao Paulo area, founded in 1968.
Its in-person courses are taught on five campuses: Interlagos, Metro Adolfo Pinheiro, Metro Marechal Deodoro, and the Dutra and Centro units in Guarulhos. The university describes laboratories, clinics, a teaching hospital, libraries and a polyclinic among its facilities, and classes run in morning or evening shifts.
UNISA offers undergraduate degrees alongside specialisation, master's and doctoral programmes, medical residencies and short qualification courses. Students can study in person, in a blended (semipresencial) format that mixes campus meetings with online work, or fully at a distance.
The distance-learning arm began broadcasting satellite classes in 2005 and operates through a network of partner learning hubs across Brazil.
Applicants can enter through the vestibular selection process, using an ENEM or Encceja score, by external transfer, as a second-degree graduate, or by returning to an interrupted course. Enrolled students and alumni can use the university's employability programme, which lists jobs and internships and offers interview and CV workshops.
