The minimum average to be accepted in the master’s degree is 7.8 / 10 (or equivalent). Since this postgraduate course is supported by the Conacyt National Quality Postgraduate Register, this requirement allows our students to be candidates for the CONACyT Scholarship and thus dedicate themselves full time to their studies.
The minimum quota for the postgraduate program to be opened is 3 students and the maximum number of students allowed is 20 .
The evaluation for the selection process is made up of two sections:
1) Knowledge and / or skills exam , which consists of a written exam and an oral exam.
2) EXANI III exam.
Which have a weighting of 70% on the knowledge exam and 30% on the EXANI II on the total grade. It is worth mentioning that for a student to be accepted into the master’s degree, it is an essential requirement that they pass the evaluation, that is, that their total grade is 60% onwards and is within the 25 highest evaluations.
