Mission

To train citizens through the production and socialization of knowledge, contributing to the educational and socio-cultural development of the Northeast Region, particularly the State of Paraíba, in line with the State Sustainable Development Plan.

View

To be a qualified center of Teaching, Research and Extension, through actions that contribute to the formation of technically qualified, critical and socially committed citizens.

Principles

Identity, autonomy, unity, diversity, quality and participation are the principles of institutional sustainability of UEPB.

Guidelines

Due to its public character, UEPB should, through teaching, research and extension, produce a knowledge committed to tackling social exclusion;

UEPB’s undergraduate education should contribute to the formation of a critical and socially committed citizen – a multiple being – jointly and severally integrated with society, with social responsibility, ethical behavior and basic professional skills;

The specialization courses (lato sensu postgraduate) are aimed at teaching centered on professional improvement and technical specificity, focusing on the verticalization of technical-vocational training and on-going training;

The stricto sensu postgraduate courses should contribute to the training of the researcher and qualify for the exercise of higher education, prioritizing lines of research contextualized with the regional and state reality;

The scientific research in the Institution, optimized by expanding the interface between undergraduate and postgraduate students, should prioritize the areas of knowledge and the respective research lines of the stricto sensu postgraduate courses;

The university extension, through institutional programs articulated with teaching and / or research, should constitute the essential instrument for the insertion of the UEPB in the social environment, expanding the actions in tune with the community.
