​

The Post-Graduation Program in Education (PPGE) consists of both Academic Master's and Doctor’s Degree. PPGE trains human resources with a high level of specialization since 2001, with the Academic Master's Degree in Education. During this period, the program contributed to the training of some of the main managers and researchers in Education in the region of Vale do Itajaí. In December 2011, the Doctorate in Education Program was approved, with the entry of the first class for the 1st semester of 2012.

The PPGE aims for its graduates to be able to engage in the development of Brazilian Education, contributing to the excellence of academic cultures focused on scientific production and on the improvement of educational policies and practices.

The Post-Graduation Program in Education has an articulating curricular axis focused on Public Policies and Educational Practices, which aims to identify and characterize the main public education policies in force in the country, analyzing the guiding principles and their consolidation in norms, programs and educational practices.

The lines of research, which are more specific ramifications, are concretely translated into the production of teachers and students. This structure, organized by axis and lines, is added to the research groups, which act as the most operational arms of the program. The groups develop research – both regarding the dissertations or broader researches – linked to the areas of activity of research professors, which necessarily fall into one or more lines of resarch and, therefore, to an axis of the PPGE. The research groups, thus, make the lines of research work, as they approach the themes of their scopes.

PPGE has research projects financed by funding agencies such as CNPq, FAPESC, FNMA, CYTED and the Government of Santa Catarina (Art. 171). The Master's degree program has CAPES scholarship quotas.

PPGE offers researchers and students large, well-lit and ventilated classrooms; individual workspaces for research professors; secretary office, meeting room; living area; workstations with computer terminals connected to the internet, in addition to having a wireless network.

The Program is located on the 4th floor of Building F4 at Univali.
