In addition to the Academic Master’s Degree and Doctorate (Regular), PPGE/FaE/UFMG administers the Latin-American Doctorate in Education: Public Policies and Educational Profession (DLA), which is a joint effort under the International Cooperation Agreement between UNESCO, Rede KIPUS (KIPUS Network) and 11 Latin American Universities, of which PPGE/FaE/UFMG was the pioneering member in the implantation of this Doctorate, whose activities began in 2010.
Additionally, an International Cooperation Agreement was established between the Universidade 11 de Novembro (UON) [November 11 University] of Baginda, Angloa, and the Federal University of Minas Gerais, to promote broad-range student exchange at the graduate level and professor and researcher exchanges. More specifically, the project aims, as a priority, to qualify the effective teaching staff at November 11 University, emphasizing the expansion of academic titles and degree programs and the development of research, with the aim of creating a Master of Education program at the Higher Institute of Science and Education (ISCED) in the future. 21 Master’s and 08 Doctoral degrees were awarded at the quadrennium as a result of this framework.
