Modus is the Intensive Course in Research Methodologies for Social Sciences, which is promoted by the Graduate Program in Political Science at UFMG.
Started in 2017, Modus offers a variety of free-of-charge courses in methodology, typically in the form of short-term disciplines (15 to 30 class hours) at the graduate level, always in July.
On its first three editions, Modus offered 630 class hours in courses with different epistemological orientations, with the participation of 31 professors (from UFMG and six other Brazilian institutions), and enrolled more than 750 students.
