The Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) has published the updated list of required readings for its 2027 entrance examination. This announcement, made by the Comissão Permanente de Seleção (Coperse), reveals four substitutions from the previous year's reading list, ensuring a fresh set of texts for prospective students. The new list totals 12 works that candidates must engage with in preparation for the selective process at the end of the year.

Among the newly included titles are "Ideias para adiar o fim do mundo" by Ailton Krenak and "Macunaíma" by Mário de Andrade, two significant works that reflect Brazilian cultural and social issues. Other notable additions include "A fúria" by Silvina Ocampo and "A teus pés" by Ana Cristina César. These works were selected to provide a diverse range of perspectives and literary styles, enhancing the educational scope of the entrance examination.

Further information regarding important dates, the official announcement, instructions for requesting fee waivers, and the application schedule will be released later on the university's official entrance exam page. This updated reading list is essential for students aiming to succeed in the highly competitive UFRGS entrance examination, underscoring the university's commitment to including contemporary voices and classic literature in its curriculum.
