The university aims to promote ethical behaviour and solidarity, with the mission
of educating active and responsible professionals. The university has received a high
evaluation from the Ministry of Education, there are qualified professors who have
a Master’s Degree or Doctoral degrees in their areas of teaching and research. The
students from Uni-FACEF have a high level of employability.
The university is divided into three buildings: unit 1, where we can find the
administrative space, the secretariat, and the engineering courses; unit 2, where we
can find the social sciences courses, the postgraduates courses, and the dean’s office;
and unit 3, a building specifically constructed for the health courses.
At Uni-FACEF we can find a distinctive infrastructure with computer labs, multimedia equipment, Wi-Fi and sound system in all classrooms and many laboratories to
train course-specific practices, such as a “3D Digital Desk”, a Laboratory of Professional Practice, a Morph-functional Laboratory to assist medical classes and a new
state-of-the-art “Communication Set” for training future advertisers in Communication Studies. The students can find in the university an updated library with more than
28,400 titles and 63,000 copies in the Uni-FACEF Digital Library, Pearson Digital,
and Elsevier Evolution Collections.
The university encourages the student’s scientific research by several internal
and public grants. There are many cooperation agreements with foreign universities,
encouraging international exchange for undergraduate and post-graduate students.
All students are encouraged to participate in social projects.
4.2 Background of VERSAS
One of the social projects conducted at Uni-FACEF culminates in sustainability
actions presented to the community in a specific week, called Green Week. Therefore, since 2011, the university started to institutionally encourage the concern of
teachers, students and the community with the environment, especially with the green
environment. This action began in an embryonic way with a project called “Green
Week”.
“Green Week” occurs every September, near the Brazilian Arbor Day (Brazil
tree day). So, at this time, all the academic communities should communicate to
everyone the importance of taking care of the environment. At the end of the week,
the organizers should insert the actions done, the people involved, the results obtained
in a website to receive a seal of “Social Responsible Institution”. Together with the
“Green Week”, the other social projects conducted at Uni-FACEF are also inserted
in this specific website to reinforce the HEI´s Social Responsible performance.
The first “Green Week” focused on the following actions: a) a “Green Trail” was
set up in the university’s hall, which was a workshop aimed at raising the awareness
