To obtain graduate degrees, it is necessary to fulfill certain credits requirements, which consist of general, mandatory, optional, and elective subjects associated with the areas of concentration. In addition, students can take elective courses in other departments at PUC-Rio or in other educational institutions, as long as they have been previously approved by the program coordinator.
Master’s degree: take and pass a minimum of 24 (twenty-four) credits, consisting of a minimum of 7 (seven) mandatory subject credits, a minimum of 6 (six) optional subjects credits, and up to 11 (eleven) electives credits. The compulsory subjects are Master’s Seminar, 1 (one) credit, and Thermodynamics (or Fundamentals of Thermodynamics or Thermodynamics), 3 (three) credits. Excess credits from mandatory and optional subjects count as electives. You must also pass an English language exam (reading) and in two mandatory subjects: master’s thesis and scientific production (master’s level).

Doctorate: take and pass a minimum of 48 (forty-eight) credits, consisting of a minimum of 10 (ten) mandatory subject credits, a minimum of 6 (six) credits from optional subjects, and up to 8 (eight) elective credits. Excess credits from mandatory and optional subjects count as electives. You must also pass the English language exam (reading and writing) and four mandatory subjects: qualification exam, doctoral thesis, scientific production (doctoral level), and doctoral thesis proposal, which is equivalent to 1 (one) credit. The courses taken in the master’s degree can be reused.
