São Paulo State University

The State University of São Paulo (UNESP) is one of the three public universities in the state of São Paulo in Brazil.

The history of São Paulo State University (UNESP) can be traced back to the early 1900s, when a number of isolated colleges and faculties were founded throughout the state of São Paulo. In the 1950s and 1960s, the São Paulo state government began to create more colleges and faculties outside of the capital city, in order to increase access to higher education for students in rural areas.

In 1976, the São Paulo state government unified these colleges and faculties into a single university, UNESP. The goal of this unification was to create a more efficient and effective system of higher education in the state of São Paulo.

UNESP is committed to providing high-quality education and research opportunities for all of its students and faculty. The university also plays an important role in the social and economic development of the state of São Paulo and Brazil.

Today, UNESP is one of the leading public universities in Brazil and Latin America. It is known for its high-quality education, its cutting-edge research, and its commitment to social responsibility.

Based on the QS World University Rankings of 2024, São Paulo State University is positioned as the #419 top university in the world, which makes it the #4 top university in Brazil.
