The study of History of Education is very important to teacher education because it allows reflections and greater criticality about their own teaching practice and professional condition. The purpose of this research was to identify similarities between the curriculum of Chemistry courses of University of Coimbra (UC), National School of Chemistry (ENQ) and School of Engineering of Porto Alegre (EEPA) at the beginning of the 20th century seeking to identify possible influences of UC in the structuring and curriculum of the first Brazilian higher education Chemistry courses. The results showed more similarities regarding the structure between UC and ENQ, while there were greater correspondences in the curricular activities between UC and EEPA. Finally, it was not possible to identify confluences in the curriculums of the courses over the decades since there was a divergence between the models of organization of the higher education in the countries under study.
