UFMT is a public federal higher education institution in Brazil that offers undergraduate and graduate programs, conducts research, and engages in extension activities to support regional development. It was established in 1970 by law 5.647 through the merger of the Federal Law School of Cuiabá—founded in 1934 and operating since 1956— and the Institute of Sciences and Letters of Cuiabá. UFMT operates campuses in Cuiabá, Rondonópolis, Médio Araguaia, and Sinop, with a broader presence across Mato Grosso and ongoing efforts to widen access through distance education and parcelled licenciaturas and special classes in partnership with federal, state, and municipal governments. Its primary stakeholders include students and researchers pursuing higher education and regional impact, and the institution plays a regional role within Brazil’s higher education system by serving multiple communities in Mato Grosso.
