Federal University of Sergipe

The Federal University of Sergipe (Portuguese: Universidade Federal de Sergipe, UFS) is a Brazilian public institution based in Sergipe, with campi sprawling through the cities of São Cristóvão (headquarters), Aracaju, Itabaiana, Laranjeiras and Lagarto. Founded in 1967 by the junction of the State's existing colleges, it became its second university (the first being the University of Tiradentes, a private institution founded in 1962) and its first, and so far only, public one. As traditionally seen in Brazilian educational system, in which state-banked universities tend to offer better quality of education, it became the State's most reputable and disputed^[5] higher education institution, ranking among the country's 40 best universities^[6] and Latin America's top 200.^[7]
