Higher Education in Brazil Study Abroad Brazil. Higher education is provided in federal, state, municipal, confessional and private universities and other institutions, foundations, federations and independent establishments. The universities are composed of faculties or schools; their internal organization is based on the departamento which is linked to schools, faculties or centres. The two supreme bodies are the Conselho Universitario (University Council) and the Conselho de Ensino e Pesquisa (Council for Graduate Studies and Research). The main characteristic of university administration is its collegial functioning. Federations are associations of institutions which offer more varied, better integrated courses and greater administrative efficiency. The higher education institutions consist of faculties, schools, centres, academies or institutes with relatively few students which offer instruction in one or two subjects. They are mostly private. The two main bodies responsible for postgraduate education, science and technology are the Fundação da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) and the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). The Conselho de Reitores das Universidades Brasileiras (CRUB) is a liaison body where all the federal, state and private universities are represented. All levels of higher education use the semester system. A National Council for Education (CNE) was recently created to replace the Federal Council for Education.
