Applications open for Olympic spots at Unicamp.

Applications for the Olympic Vacancies program for admission to Unicamp 2019 are now open. Until January 10th, students who have won awards in Olympiads or other knowledge competitions can apply for a place in 26 undergraduate courses at the university without having to take the entrance exam.

The program, approved by the University Council last year, will offer 90 places to award winners in Olympiads in the two years prior (2017 and 2018) to the start of their undergraduate studies. Therefore, medalists from the Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad for Public Schools (OBMEP) are eligible to apply for admission to Unicamp.
