Informatics

Graduate Program in Informatics (Master's and Doctoral Degrees)

Program Description

The Graduate Program in Informatics (PPGInf) of the University of Brasilia (UnB) was created in 2003 and is the only PhD program in Computer Science in the Federal District since its inception. Thus, PPGInf is a program capable of attracting a large number of good candidates from both the Federal District and the states that make up the Midwest region, as well as encouraging the national and international exchange of its teachers and students.

The main objective of PPGInf is to enable the development of in-depth knowledge resulting from scientific research and technological innovation in the area of Computer Science. It also aims at the formation of high-quality researchers and teachers of high competence for teaching in higher education institutions.
