Universidade de São Paulo

The University of São Paulo (USP) is a public university in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. It is the largest Brazilian public university and the most prestigious educational institution in the country and Latin America, and holds a high reputation among world universities. The university was founded in 1934, regrouping already existing schools in the state of São Paulo, such as a faculty of law, an engineering school, and the Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz. The university has subsequently created new departments in all areas of knowledge, becoming one of the largest universities in Latin America, with approximately 90,000 enrolled students across eleven campuses, four of them in the city of São Paulo.
