Which program is right for you?

Gradeup recommends starting the advisory process at least 12 months in advance of the course start date. This is because application periods usually open about a year before classes start, allowing the student to go through all the steps smoothly. However, it is entirely possible to complete the process in a few months. Each case is analyzed individually, taking into account the student's reality, goals, and choices.

Costs vary considerably depending on the country, whether it's a capital or smaller city, the institution's profile, and whether the student is eligible for scholarships. That's why we don't work with fixed price ranges — they tend to be more intimidating than useful. Part of our advisory is understanding each student's financial profile and selecting options that fit their budget.

Proving proficiency in the language of instruction through tests like IELTS or TOEFL is part of the process. The minimum required level varies by university and program. It is worth noting that there are institutions in countries like Germany and France that offer courses entirely in English even if it's not the official language. For those who have not yet reached the required level, many of Gradeup's partner universities offer preparatory programs.

It depends. It is necessary to analyze each case individually. In the corporate market — business, technology, marketing, communication, and arts — many professionals work in multinationals in Brazil and abroad without the need for formal validation. The market values experience and technical knowledge. For regulated professions — medicine, law, engineering, or psychology — the revalidation process with MEC or CAPES is mandatory to practice in Brazil. Our team guides you on the best path for each case.

There are various scholarship opportunities for universities abroad, which may consider academic, sports, nationality, and other criteria defined by each institution. The possibilities vary according to the destination, the university, and the student's profile. Over 85% of Gradeup students receive some type of scholarship.

The most sought-after destinations by our students are the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada, as well as countries in Europe and Oceania. Each destination has unique characteristics in terms of the educational system, cost of living, and visa possibilities. There is no universally "best" destination — our job is to identify the ideal combination of institution, country, and the profile and goals of each student.
