Presentation

The growth of graduate programs in Higher Education Institutions (IES) has become a global trend to meet the demand for highly specialized professional training. This need for diversified and regionalized educational offerings responds to the constantly developing economic and political ties between China and Latin America, which generates significant opportunities in the labor market and mutual cooperation. The Master in Economics and Society of China and Latin America of the Universidad Veracruzana (UV) is presented as an innovative response to this demand, providing students with a comprehensive vision that encompasses economic, cultural and sustainability aspects, fostering the recognition of human rights and providing competencies to address global challenges.

This academic proposal is aligned with the need to train multidisciplinary professionals capable of understanding and taking advantage of the dynamics between China and Latin America, in a context of economic growth, investment, and cooperation in constant expansion. In addition, the virtual modality responds to the current trends of internationalization of educational programs and the use of information technologies to reach students around the world.
