What FPbe - Fasupi - Unisepe does

Unisepe (União das Instituições de Serviços, Ensino e Pesquisa) is a private Brazilian higher education network operating at least eight institutional units across São Paulo state, with a primary footprint in the historically underserved Vale do Ribeira region. Its unit portfolio includes UNIVR (Centro Universitário do Vale do Ribeira, in Registro), FPBE (Faculdade Peruíbe, in Peruíbe), FASUPI (Faculdade Superior de Peruíbe, in Adamantina), UNIFIA, UNISL, ASMEC, ASMECPA, and an EAD (distance learning) arm. The network delivers undergraduate degrees (Graduação Presencial), online undergraduate and postgraduate programs (Graduação EAD, Pós-Graduação EAD), and short-term professional courses (Cursos Livres) spanning health sciences, technology, business administration, law, education, and humanities.

The core technology platform is a centralized institutional portal (portal.unisepe.com.br) that supports enrollment, content delivery for both presencial and EAD modalities, and unit-level event management. Each unit has its own dedicated event portal, and the network maintains an active content marketing blog plus presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. A vertically integrated healthcare arm, IESEP (Policlínica established 2016), provides community health services and serves as a practicum site for health sciences students.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through tuition and fees across presencial and EAD programs, functioning on a recurring subscription-like annual cycle. Enrollment is driven through vestibular (entrance exam) campaigns, WhatsApp direct contact, social media, and content marketing targeting prospective students in and beyond the Vale do Ribeira region. No public revenue, funding, or financial disclosures are available; ownership is private with no disclosed parent, holding, or PE/VC involvement.
