Our courses

The Institute currently offers undergraduate degrees in Computer Engineering (jointly with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering) and in Computer Science; a Graduate Studies Program leading to Masters and Doctoral degrees; and several training and continuing education courses. 

Our research

Our history

The Institute's origins can be traced back to 1969, when UNICAMP started an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. The first of its kind in Brazil, it was a model for many similar programs throughout the country. Later that year, the Computer Science Department (DCC) was officially created within the Institute of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science (IMECC). In March 1996 the Department split off from IMECC to become UNICAMP's 20th teaching and research unit.
