The University of Brasilia offers free public education of excellence for Brazilian and foreign students, with a humanistic, embracive and plural perspective of citizens' rights. Our goals and our mission are to be a reference in teaching, research and community projects, contributing to global knowledge in an interconnected world. - The University of Brasilia was created in 1962 following the joint vision of the anthropologist Darcy Ribeiro and the educator Anísio Teixeira. - Its conception came from the same revolutionary spirit that gave rise to the federal capital, Brasília: to renew the methods of learning and to teach towards the future. - Dedicated to the promotion of free, inclusive and high-quality education, UnB is among the best universities in Brazil. - Its institutional mission is to produce, integrate and disseminate knowledge, and to educate citizens to be committed to ethics, social responsibility and sustainable development. - In 1995, the university was the first in the country to offer a three-stage entrance exam (Serial Evaluation Program – PAS), with tests for candidates at the end of each year of high school. - In 2003, UnB was the first Brazilian federal university to approve affirmative action for black and indigenous applicants.
