IPICYT offers two graduate programs focused on the following
areas:
The main goal of the IPICYT graduate program is to reinforce
the level of preparation and formation of human resources
as independent researchers in science and technological development
and to encourage graduate student interaction with groups
of international prestige in a setting of collaboration and
specific research work.
The programs seek the following goals:
Master program: To prepare skilled personnel to participate
in innovative development, analysis, adaptation and incorporation
to the practice of the advances of the area at hand or specific
aspects concerning professional practice which may provide
them with a wide knowledge of their area of specialization,
including the origin, development, paradigms, current aspects
of research methodology, which may allow them to be prepared
for developing high level academic activities.
Doctoral program. To prepare skilled personnel to
participate in research and development, capable of generating
and applying knowledge in an innovative and original way and
capable of preparing guiding researchers or groups of researchers.
This preparation will be of an extensive as well as of a deep
nature, and thus will provide them with a full command of
the area.
For this purpose, living expenses and registration for full
time students dedicated to the learning and understanding
of science and technological development will be financed.
For that reason, our graduate program is ascribed to the scholarship
system supported by CONACYT, through the Integral Program
for Postgraduate Improvement (PIFOP).
One IPICYT strategy, is to encourage interdepartmental activities
oriented toward formulating interdisciplinary projects, be
they basic research or to formulate Vinculation projects with
different sectors, when these are oriented toward solving
regional problems and thus obtaining external resources.
The Division of Molecular Biology intervenes in the graduate
program of the same name, while three Divisions intervene
in the Applied Sciences graduate program, one for each terminal
option under a structure of interdisciplinary collaboration
through subjects from the same common core program.
The interaction among the terminal options on the one hand
and the one between the two graduate programs on the other
hand, is encouraged by different mechanisms, which include
a compulsory interdisciplinary seminar, the possibility of
taking optional subjects from the different options and collaborating
in interdisciplinary projects.
