The Federal University of Minas Gerais (Portuguese: Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, UFMG) is a federal[4] research university located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Its main and biggest campus is located in the city of Belo Horizonte. It is one of Brazil's five largest and highest-ranked universities.[5][6][7][8]
UFMG offers 79 undergraduate education programs[9]—including bachelor's degrees, licenciate degrees, or professional degree titles[note 1]—as well as 90 postgraduate education programs,[10][11] awarding 30 postbaccalaureate specialization degrees,[12] 92 master's degrees,[13][14] and 72 doctoral degrees;[15][14] the school's hospital facilities also have 41 medical residency programs.[16] UFMG also has campi at Tiradentes and Montes Claros, though most courses are taught at the main campus in the Pampulha district of Belo Horizonte.
UFMG receives one of the highest amounts of federal funds and resources among all federal universities in Brazil.[17][18] According to the 2021 Times Higher Education ranking,[19] it is the third best university in Brazil and the fifth best in Latin America.[20] Based on results of the "Student's National Performance Exam" (ENADE), UFMG's undergraduate degrees are among the best in Brazil, while national ranking systems usually place UFMG as one of the best in the country.[21][22][23][24]

- ^ In the Brazilian Higher Education context, Federal does not mean collegiate (even though most Federal Universities in Brazil enjoy a similarly collegiate system), but it means that the institution is funded by the Union (who is the fiscal-juridical person that embodies the Federation, in the context of the Federative Republic of Brazil), which implies they are necessarily free of charge for all.
