The Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM; (英語:Federal University of Santa Maria)) is a Brazilian public university located in Santa Maria, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, funded by the federal government of Brazil. It was founded in 1960, by Professor José Mariano da Rocha Filho. UFSM's presence in the municipality of Santa Maria is one of the reasons why the city is sometimes called "university city" or "culture city". Santa Maria is located in western Rio Grande do Sul, approximately 290 km far from the capital city of the state, Porto Alegre. Set in the heart of the pampas of Brazil, the city thrives with gaúcho culture. UFSM is a public, free university, and students do not pay any tuition fees. It is the oldest federal university not located in a Brazilian state capital city, and the largest in number of undergraduate courses offered in Rio Grande do Sul state.〔http://www.clicrbs.com.br/jornais/dsm/jsp/default2.jsp?uf=1&local=1&edition=12424&template=&start=1§ion=Geral&source=a2528078.xml&channel=10&id=&titanterior=&content=&menu=&themeid=§ionid=&suppid=&fromdate=&todate=&modovisual=〕 ==Admission== Like most other Brazilian higher education institutions, the admission for undergraduate courses in UFSM is mainly based on an annual open test called ''vestibular''. The only request to be filled in order to apply for it is to have completed a high school course. UFSM's vestibular comprises a multiple-choice exam and a written essay and lasts for 3 mornings and 1 afternoon.〔http://www.coperves.ufsm.br/〕 The multiple-choice exam contains 15 questions on each of the following subjects: Portuguese Language, Brazilian Literature, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Geography, History, Biology, Philosophy and Foreign Language (the applicant may choose one among English, Spanish, French, German and Italian).〔http://www.clicrbs.com.br/dsm/jsp/default.jsp?uf=1&local=1§ion=38&action=noticiasImpressa&id=2629327&edition=12985〕 The written essay is usually an argumentative text on a theme. UFSM offers also a serial admission program, called PEIES (or Programa de Ingresso ao Ensino Superior), which consists of a multiple-choice exam applied at the end of each of the three years of Brazilian high school, plus a written essay only in the third year. UFSM is the pioneer university in Brazil to adopt the program, through which 20% of all the undergraduate students are admitted. UFSM's vestibular and PEIES are both prepared and administered by ''Coperves'' (Permanent Commission for Vestibular). In 2011, the most competitive course was Medicine, with over 96 candidates per opening. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Universidade Federal de Santa Maria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
