HISTORY


The Centro Universitário do Distrito Federal – UDF, part of the Cruzeiro do Sul Educational Group, had its Academic Master’s Program in Law of Social and Labor Relations approved on December 18, 2015. From that moment, it has made every effort to implement the high standards proposed in the Application for New Course Proposals (APCN), striving to establish an academic space where teaching, research, and outreach are a differential on a national level and within its area of concentration.
The first student selection process for the Master’s Program took place from March 10 to 12, 2016, and classes began on March 28, 2016. In its first CAPES four-year evaluation, in 2024, the program received a SCORE 4, having graduated 113 master’s students over six years.

The approval of the Doctorate Program is part of UDF’s broader strategy to strengthen graduate studies, research, scientific initiation, outreach, and internationalization—key institutional priorities.
The Master’s and Doctorate Programs are the first stricto sensu graduate programs at UDF – Centro Universitário and are part of a legacy of over half a century in which the institution has pursued a path of academic excellence and social recognition.

 

CAPES EVALUATION
In its first four-year evaluation, the Master’s Program in Law of Social and Labor Relations at UDF received a score of 4 from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), a federal agency under the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC) responsible for overseeing and regulating graduate programs in Brazil. This score of 4, awarded in 2022, is the highest rating possible for a master’s-only program. It enabled the submission of a proposal (APCN) for the approval of a Doctorate program, which was granted on December 19, 2024.
