goals

To train specialists in the area of biomathematics, with a master's degree, with a strong multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological foundation, capable of understanding, interpreting and developing mathematical models applied to biological systems, which can contribute to the economic, environmental and social sustainability of the country.

Applicant Profile

a) Hold a bachelor's degree or professional title in the field of mathematics, biology, biotechnology or some specialty related to these, or hold a professional title of civil engineer or equivalent.

b) Have two letters of recommendation, in the official format of the Program, from academics who have been part of your training or academic performance.

c) Submit a copy of your degree certificate or diploma and transcript of grades.

d) Submit a letter explaining your motivation for applying to the Program.

Graduate profile

Graduates of the Master's Program in Biomathematics at the Metropolitan Technological University possess the disciplinary and methodological training necessary to create computational simulation programs for mathematical models. This training enables them to explore, hypothesize, and predict the behavior of biological systems. Furthermore, their mastery of mathematics and biology allows them to integrate theoretical-mathematical results with biological categories and phenomena, interpreting them and inferring knowledge to provide answers within that context. Their specialized conceptual and taxonomic expertise allows them to interact with mathematicians and biologists, facilitating their integration and collaborative work in multidisciplinary teams within the fields of research, development, and innovation in Mathematical Ecology, Mathematical Epidemiology, or Mathematical Biotechnology. In addition, they apply analytical thinking, scientific-mathematical reasoning, and communication skills to disseminate and transfer knowledge to a broad and diverse audience. The specialist can join research teams in academia and the private sector, engage in university teaching, participate in science outreach, and pursue doctoral studies in Mathematics, Biology, or Biomathematics. The process of reviewing, evaluating, and validating the graduate profile should be a mechanism for continuous improvement within the postgraduate program, a process that may be carried out every four years or every two graduating cohorts.

He is a specialist with high analytical capacity who masters at an advanced level the theory and techniques of applied mathematics, being able to mathematically model biological systems, thereby contributing to the economic, environmental and social sustainability of the country.
