U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

The curricular structure of the Graduate Program in Dentistry at PUCRS is based on 30 elective courses that are offered on a regular basis, in different semesters. The disciplines were planned with a view to addressing the ethical, biological and clinical aspects of dental research, to allow the integral training of students. Most subjects can be taken by students from different areas of concentration, since the knowledge developed is of interest to everyone, consolidating the interrelationship between the different areas of concentration within the Program.

The pedagogical practices focus on the reality of the nurses, the health team and the different health services. The disciplines have a theoretical-practical character with a variety of modalities. Active teaching-learning methodologies, such gamification, flipped classroom, peer to peer evaluation, simulation as, case discussion and problematization, allow the articulation between the university, the service and the community, allowing to train professionals who have the capacity to reconstruct knowledge and not only reproduce what was learned in a mechanical and uncritical way.

The course prioritizes the general training of nurses with equal performance in primary and hospital care. Clinical practices in real environments and with realistic simulation emphasizing problem-based learning, stimulating the development of clinical reasoning. Innovation and entrepreneurship are offered as a discipline, preparing nurses to read the world in order to develop critical thinking in the search for solutions. For the final assay, the student has to engage in a research line of the professor aiming for a publication in a scientific journal or it can be product development.

The Graduate Program of Psychology is currently composed of three areas of concentration (Clinical Psychology, Social Psychology, and Human Cognition), which comprise 17 Research Groups and two research centers. In the last four-year national evaluation, carried out in 2017, we achieved a 6 (maximum is 7) score, which evidences the program's excellence at an international level. In the past year, 14 of our professors received a Productivity Scholarship (14 = 82.3%), a recognition awarded to researchers who have standard scientific, technological, and innovation research in their fields.
