The UniEduK Group

What The UniEduK Group does

The UniEduK Group is a privately held Brazilian educational services company operating two higher education institutions in the state of São Paulo: UniFAJ (Centro Universitário de Jaguariúna) and UniMAX (Centro Universitário Max Planck, Indaiatuba). The group also controls Faagro (Agronegócios) as a wholly-owned subsidiary, and is legally organized under UniEduK Serviços Educacionais Ltda., with Instituto Educacional Jaguary Ltda. (IEJ) serving as the maintaining entity for UniFAJ. Founded in 1999 (per copyright notice) and formerly known as Grupo Pólis Educacional following the 2008 acquisition of Faculdade Max Planck, the group serves approximately 8,000 active students across 250+ undergraduate, graduate, technical, extension, and continuing education programs.

The core product offering is classroom-based higher education delivered via two physical campuses, supported by an in-house "Educar Teaching Model" that emphasizes active methodologies, intermediate certifications enabling pre-graduation employment, and integration with a corporate partner network of 60+ organizations including John Deere, MANN+HUMMEL, KION, Grupo Erviegas, and Cooperflora. Technology infrastructure is limited: a proprietary mobile application (AvaliEduK) supports the CISM (Centro de Pesquisa e Inovação em Saúde Mental) mental health research program, and the InovaEduK innovation hub operates pre-acceleration and DemoDay programs. All units carry the maximum MEC (Ministério da Educação) rating of 5 across teaching staff, infrastructure, and Course Pedagogical Project (PPC); Medicine programs additionally hold ENAMED classification and a Conselho Nacional de Saúde recommendation.

Revenue is generated through tuition and academic fees on a recurring (subscription/term) basis, with monthly billing and undisclosed but contact-based pricing supported by scholarships and installment payment options. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via vestibular (admission exams), corporate internship pipelines, and community events. The group does not disclose revenue, funding, or headcount; international exposure exists only through academic exchange and research collaborations (Portugal, United States including a Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School affiliate rotation, King's College, University of Newcastle Australia, and NUS).
