University of São Paulo, Public research university in São Paulo, Brazil.
The University of São Paulo is a public research institution spread across eleven locations, with four situated in São Paulo city. It serves nearly ninety thousand students through more than forty faculties and institutes.
Founded in 1934, the institution merged existing schools including the Law School, Polytechnic School, and College of Agriculture to form Brazil's first public university. The merger brought different disciplines together under a shared administration.
Several public museums invite visitors to explore natural history collections and archaeological findings that reflect the breadth of academic disciplines. The facilities remain open to all and convey a sense of the institution's research spirit.
Access to libraries and buildings often requires registration at entrance points where visitors check in. The campus grounds are extensive and require enough time to move between faculties and facilities.
The institution produces around one quarter of all scientific papers from Brazil that appear in international journals. This research output positions it as a hub for scholarly work in the country.
