UNIBAN

What UNIBAN does

UNIBAN (Universidade Bandeirante de São Paulo) is a private higher education institution operating from a single 20,450 m² campus at Rua Maria Cândida, 1813, Vila Guilherme, São Paulo. Founded in 1970/1973, the institution offers 11 undergraduate programs (Graduação) across bachelor's, technologist, and licentiate degrees in health sciences (Nursing, Physiotherapy, Physical Education, Psychology, Martial Arts), humanities (Administration, Accounting, Law, Pedagogy, Advertising), and technology (Systems Analysis and Development), as well as 29 postgraduate specialization programs (Pós-Graduação Lato Sensu) and one executive MBA in Strategic Management of Medical Clinics.

The institution's underlying technology stack centers on a Moodle-based Virtual Learning Environment (AVA — Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem) that supplements in-person instruction with online access to course materials and academic resources, alongside a virtual library aggregating databases such as CAPES, SciELO, and PubMed. Distinctive operational infrastructure includes on-site student-staffed clinical facilities in Physiotherapy, Psychology, and Dentistry that serve over 10,000 patients monthly, and a Legal Practice Center handling over 5,000 cases annually — both functioning as practical training environments for enrolled students.

UNIBAN's business model is direct-to-consumer tuition-based with three revenue streams: semester-based undergraduate tuition (with example pricing of Matrícula R$250-R$380 plus 5x monthly installments of R$360-R$460), monthly or installment postgraduate/MBA tuition (12x R$400 for specializations; 18x R$1,200 for the executive MBA), and clinical services revenue from student-staffed practice clinics. Student acquisition is channeled through vestibular/ENEM/SISU admission, external transfer (Transferência Externa) with curriculum recognition, a Graduação Flexível program, website enrollment forms, and WhatsApp direct outreach. Marketing leverages ENEM, PND, and TSE elections hosting for institutional visibility. The institution operates without a disclosed parent company, holding structure, or external investment.
