Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) is a federal university with campuses in the city of Fortaleza, Sobral and Barbalha, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. UFC is a public and free of charge university, with several academic programs in most areas of knowledge.
In Fortaleza, the university has three main campuses: "Campus do Pici", with the most of the programs in science and technology areas, "Campus do Benfica", which possesses the university's administration and the programs in humanities, business, and the law school, and the "Campus do Porangabussu", with the medical school. The campuses of Sobral and Barbalha are new and have only a medical school each, which are extensions of the central medical school at Fortaleza.
UFC was created by the Brazilian federal government in 1955 and is under the Ministry of Education. História The University has born as the result of great public opinion arguments, which had begun on . The main character of this movement was Antônio Martins Filho, an intellectual who became the first director of the recently created "Universidade do Ceará" ('University of Ceará'). The University itself was created by Law #2.373, ratified on December of 1954 and begun working in one session on June 25, 1955. Its implementation was owed to the union of the several secondary-education institutes then present in the city of Fortaleza: the School of Agronomy, the Faculty of Law of Ceara, the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Pharmacology & Odontology. Today, the University consists of four centers of education and five faculties.
