Researchers around the world study the expectations, in the short and long term, of students attending the last year of undergraduate studies in order to seek scientific evidence to assist managers and policy makers in public health service. The objective of this study is to determine the demographic and socioeconomic profile of the students of the last year of a Brazilian public Dentistry university and to relate their professional perspectives with personal, family characteristics. A cross-sectional study was carried out and a questionnaire was applied to students from the last semester of 2014, 2015 and 2016, at University of São Paulo. The response rate was 82%, and 76.52% of the students lived with their parents. Most of them (82%) studied in private schools in the elementary and high school education and only 7.95% entered into university being benefited by the quota programs. Regarding expectations concerning the professional future, 70% intend to work as self-employed professionals, 61.36% in the public service and only 28.7% intend to work in education. This was an exploratory study, with the limits described in the literature on the methodological approach. However, future researches should incorporate qualitative methodologies in order to deeply understand phenomena such as the professional expectation, the student relation with the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) and the labor market.
