is noted nationally and internally for its excellence, on account both of its academic and scientific work
and of the professional training it provides in a huge range of subjects. It is recognised as one of the
most important universities in Brazil, with outstanding performance in teaching, research and outreach.
In Belo Horizonte, the capital of the State of Minas Gerais, UFMG is situated on the following sites: the
Pampulha Campus, which comprises most of its activities; the Health Campus, comprising the Medical

of Law and the School of Architecture. The Montes Claros Campus comprises the Institute of Agricultural
Science in the city of Montes Claros, in the north of Minas Gerais.
UFMG offers a wide range of museums and places of scientific and cultural interest, such as the Cultural
Centre, the UFMG Conservatory, the Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens and the Museum
of Morphological Science, all of which are open to the public. In addition it organises major arts events,
such as the Winter and Summer Festivals. Mention should also be made of the services provided in the
Hospital das Clínicas, the Risoleta Neves Hospital, the Dental Faculty and the Veterinary Hospital, as well
as the sporting and recreational activities conducted in the Centro Esportivo Universitário / CEU
(University Sports Centre) and the Centro de Treinamento Esportivo / CTE (Sports Training Centre).
UFMG's excellence includes the desire to become more and more democratic through activities of social
inclusion. Examples of this are the bonus policy for disadvantaged groups in the university entrance
exams, the Affirmative Action Programme and the Special Programme of Academic Grants for EveningCourse Students.
Teaching
The quality of UFMG's undergraduate courses has been verified by both internal and external
assessment, which show high levels of intellectual and scientific output. Excellent course performance
reflects the excellent teaching staff and infrastructure and demonstrates the University's competence

training of researchers and teachers who are working in institutions throughout Brazil and abroad. The
university currently has more than 70 postgraduate programmes, with more than 14,000 places offered

UFMG is recognised nationally and internationally as a pioneer in outreach work, especially in the way it
integrates that work with research and teaching. On the one hand, it is the research activity which
enriches and sustains activities and projects developed alongside various institutions and social groups;
On the other hand, the outreach activities demonstrate constant interaction between the University and

undertaken. UFMG has projects in various areas of social vulnerability in Minas Gerais, and works in the
fields of environmental protection, citizenship and public safety, education, health and preventive and
social medicine, the promotion of cultural diversity and heritage preservation, technology transfer,

funding agencies. The University is continually improving its facilities for the reception of foreign
students and researchers, and for the consolidation of international groups and networks that work in

4.1) About the City
Belo Horizonte, the first wholly planned city in Brazil, is the capital of Minas Gerais. Inaugurated on 12
December 1897, on the site of a previous settlement called Corral Del Rey, it has a population of about
2.2 million. It is located in the South East Region, a strategic geographical point in the country. The city is
ringed by the Serra do Curral mountain range, which provides a natural boundary and is full of history. In
addition to its natural advantages and ease of access by air and road, the capital of Minas Gerais is
notable for its architectural beauty, its strong vocation for commerce and services, and its rich artistic
and cultural production. Apart from enjoying the renowned hospitality of the people of Belo Horizonte
and the excellent Mineiran cuisine, visitors can visit the city's beautiful squares and parks, such as the
Praça do Papa, the Parque Municipal, the Parque Mangabeiras, the Parque Ecológico and the Parque da
Lagoa do Nado. The architectural complex around Pampulha Lake, designed by the architect Oscar
Niemeyer, deserves special attention. The climate is mild, with temperatures ranging between 16 and
31 degrees, the average being 21°C. Winters are dry and summers rainy.

Taxes: In Brazil, tax is already included in the price of products .
Bank opening hours: 10:00 to 16:00, Monday to Friday.
Tips In Brazil there are situations in which the tip is already included in the bills for goods or services.
This is the case of some restaurants (10% of total consumption is added to the bill) and of hotels, where
it is also included in the bill. In some cases, restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill (which
is normally stated on the menu). In such cases, a tip of 10% is normal.
It is customary to tip hotel porters (those who carry your luggage from the taxi to the reception, and
those who carry it to your room) and the valet who parks your car or drives it from the car park. In such
informal cases, the amount of the tip varies - there is no standard amount. It is not usual to tip taxi
drivers. If necessary, round up the cost of the taxi ride.
Health: Some medications, such as anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, may be
purchased by telephone. For controlled drugs, such as antibiotics and antidepressants, you need a
prescription. In Brazil there is the Sistema Único de Saúde / SUS (Single Health System), which provides
free health care for everyone. More information can be found at:

Smoking: The Brazilian Civil Code forbids smoking by young people under the age of 18. Some enclosed
spaces in Belo Horizonte have a smoking area. If there is no such space, tourists should ask the
management of the establishment. Smoking on public transport, in public buildings and in concert halls

Belo Horizonte is also a starting point for many historical and ecological walks. In the historic cities of
Minas Gerais you will be able to appreciate a lavish abundance of baroque architecture. The paths,
springs, rivers and waterfalls in the surrounding countryside are ideal for the ecotourist.
