FACAMP, FACULDADES DE CAMPINASABOUT USFACAMP, Faculdades de Campinas, is a privately owned college, founded in the year

2000. In less than a decade, its innovative educational project has gained the respect

of the Brazilian academic community, as well as the recognition of our dynamic labour

market, which has created more than 16.7 million jobs since 2000.

FACAMP is located in Campinas, the 13th richest city in Brazil, with a population of one

million and a GDP of U$19 billion. Campinas is a one-hour (90km) ride from São Paulo,

Brazil’s major city and its economic centre. Viracopos Campinas Airport is a busy hub and

has around 200 daily take-offs to all major cities and regions in Brazil. There are also

daily flights to the US and Europe.

The city of Campinas has an acknowledged vocation for technological innovation and is

surrounded by many renowned universities, technology research centres, and high value

global enterprises, such as 3M, Bosch, Honda, Motorola, Pirelli, Samsung, among others.

Over the years, FACAMP has established strong links with the manufacturing and financial

sectors providing a privileged locus for common learning and research.

FACAMP´s campus spreads over 100.000 m2, with sustainable landscaping, more than

a thousand native trees and 22 thousand orchid plants. The campus incorporates ample

modern buildings and common spaces for student interaction.
