University students from any field are also welcome, as are managers, educators, and people who work with public policy, who wish to better understand the issues and challenges of the health sector.

The requirements for enrolling in UNA-SUS courses are quite flexible.
Generally, you must be over 18 years old and have a stable internet connection to access the course material. Since the courses are offered in Portuguese, proficiency in the language is essential.
Regarding specialization courses, it is important to point out that some of them require an undergraduate degree in a relevant field. For these courses, it is necessary to submit a copy of the diploma during the registration process.
