Yduqs Participações S.A. is one of Brazil’s leading private education companies, offering a broad range of undergraduate, graduate and continuing education programs. Through both on-campus and distance learning formats, the company serves students in fields such as business administration, engineering, health sciences, law and social sciences. Yduqs’s portfolio comprises traditional universities, specialized schools and online platforms designed to meet the evolving needs of working professionals and recent secondary‐school graduates alike.
The company operates via two primary segments: face-to-face education and distance learning. Its on-campus network spans dozens of institutions across multiple Brazilian states, providing lecture-based courses, laboratory work and student services. The distance learning arm leverages a proprietary virtual environment, offering synchronous and asynchronous classes, digital libraries and interactive tools tailored to remote learners. In addition to bachelor’s degrees, Yduqs delivers postgraduate diplomas, continuing education certificates and corporate training solutions.
Founded in the early 1970s as Estácio de Sá University in Rio de Janeiro, the group expanded rapidly through the 2000s via new campus openings and strategic acquisitions. In 2019, the holding company rebranded from Estácio Participações to Yduqs to reflect its broader educational ambition. Today, Yduqs serves hundreds of thousands of students nationwide and maintains partnerships with industry associations, technology providers and international academic institutions to enhance its curriculum and research capabilities.
Governed by a board of directors with expertise in education, finance and technology, Yduqs is led by a senior management team focused on digital innovation and operational excellence. The company continues to invest in online course development, student support services and campus infrastructure as it pursues sustainable growth in Brazil’s rapidly evolving higher education market.
