In particular, courses in the exact sciences area are of very high quality and its Computer Science course was considered the best in the country by the latest edition of ENADE.
The current rector of UFMG is Prof. Clélio Campolina Diniz. Famous past students include former Brazilian president Juscelino Kubitschek; writer, medical doctor and diplomat João Guimarães Rosa, plastic surgeon Ivo Pitanguy, poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade and pop singers Samuel Rosa and Fernanda Takai.
Location
UFMG is located in the northern part of Belo Horizonte, in the neighborhood of Pampulha. The campus area totals 8,775,579 square meters, while built area reaches 620,735 square meters. This is divided in three main campi (Pampulha Campus, Health Sciences Campus in Central Belo Horizonte and Rural Sciences Institute in Montes Claros together with a few buildings spread in other parts of Belo Horizonte, such as the School of Architecture. Inside the Pampulha Campus there is the CDTN, a Federal Institute for Nuclear Sciences Research; it includes 38 buildings, 50 laboratories and one 250 kW Nuclear Reactor built in 1960 named TRIGA. There is also an extensive area of secondary forest known as the Estação Ecológica ("Ecological Station"), where some university scientists - mainly ecologists and zoologists - carry out research; this is the largest "green" area within the city boundaries, and is home to several endemic insect species. In the academic years of 2007 and 2009, the Ministry of Education has ranked the UFMG as the best University in Brazil, after a detailed examination over all institutions of higher education.
History of UFMG

In 1898, the Ouro Preto Faculty of Law was transferred to Belo Horizonte, which at the time was set to be the new state capital.
A few new unconnected faculties would be founded later: in 1907, the Free School of Dentistry; in 1911, the Faculty of Medicine, the School of Engineering, and a course in pharmacy attached to the Free School of Dentistry.
In 1927, these four schools merged to found UMG, University of Minas Gerais, a private institution subsidized by the state government.
The UMG remained funded by Minas Gerais government until 1949, when funding had been delegated to Brazilian Government. Even though, the name UFMG was not adopted until 1965.
At the time of federalization, the schools of architecture, philosophy and economics were already integrated in the university. As its expansion carried on, the School of Nursing (1950), Veterinary Science (1961), Information Science (1962), Music (1962) and Physical Education (1969) were founded.
In 1968, a university reform altered profoundly the structure of UFMG. The College of Philosophy spawned multiple institutions: the College of Philosophy and Human Sciences, the Institute of Biological Sciences, the Institute of Exact Sciences, the Institute of Geosciences and the Colleges of Literature and Education.
Five additional courses have been established recently: agronomy, theater, control and automation engineering, computational mathematics, and speech therapy/audiology.
