This paper aims to present some reflections on the reform of the University of Coimbra, which took place in the reign of King John III, 16th century. By examining this period we call attention to two aspects present in the life of the institution: teacher recruitment and financial reorganization. We realize that these two aspects can be understood as some of the guidelines of the Portuguese Crown to reform the University of Coimbra. Through the analysis and presentation of documentary sources, letters and permits sent to University by the Crown, we seek to demonstrate to the reader the importance of that moment to the story of educational institutions not only in Portugal but also in Brazilian ones, since then this fact University of Coimbra came to be regarded as the training centre of the Empire, responsible for the training of senior managers of the company, both in ecclesiastical plan as a civilian in the Kingdom and in overseas territories. The documents analyzed point out that to investigate that Historical period of University of Coimbra collaborates to understanding of the goals in terms of human formation at that period.
