From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Universidade Federal da Bahia (Federal University of Bahia or UFBA) is a public university located mainly in Salvador, state of Bahia, Brazil. It is the most important university in that state. Students can study there without having to pay, as it is a public university, but they must perform well on an annual exam known as vestibular.

[edit] Vestibular

UFBA's exam is characterized by 2 phases:
The first is generic, that is, evaluates students' abilities at all areas of knowledge (literature, history, geography, natural sciences, foreign language and mathematics). If their results meet the criteria, students move on to the second phase exams, more specific to the course to which they are applying. For example, students applying to the medicine program (the most common) who do well on the first level proceed to a second level exam demanding proficiency in biology, chemistry, physics and writing.
