Demographics of Higher Education
The Federal University of São Paulo is located in the most populated and
wealthiest state of Brazil: São Paulo.
It corresponds to one third of Brazil’s GDP and concentrates one third of
Brazilian workforce.
The wealth of São Paulo extends beyond monetary assets; it is in the
cultural diversity that forged its population since its origin. The city is a
true melting pot where Portuguese, Italians, Germans, Jews, Japanese,
Chinese, Koreans, French, Africans, Arabs, Spanish and Brazilians, meet
and build the city cosmopolitan vocation.
This is the environment where UNIFESP thrives as a comprehensive public
university.
