Objectives of the curriculum. To prepare professors and technical experts specialized in research areas related to physics, chemistry and mathematics, with emphasis on the application of knowledge in the area of interest of the student, who will be able to choose the content of his or her curriculum to a large extent.
Admission profile. The Master's program is designed for professionals and graduates with a bachelor's or engineering degree in physics, mathematics, chemistry, nanotechnology, electronics, mechanics, materials science or related fields. Applicants must be willing and able to apply their knowledge of the basic sciences to projects that have a positive impact on the development of society.
Graduate Profile. The graduate will have a solid basic knowledge and a strong experimental background using state of the art scientific equipment. Will be able to participate in research and/or technological development projects in the areas of program. They will have the initiative and creativity to propose solutions to technological problems that will lead them to a satisfactory development in the educational, industrial and/or research sectors. At the same time, the graduates will be perfectly qualified to continue with a doctorate in any national or international institution with related postgraduate degrees.
There are two admission periods per year, for the semester beginning in February and for the semester beginning in September. For the semester beginning in February, admission is based on three written exams and, if necessary, an interview with the Admissions Committee. These three exams are different for each field, but they are the same as those taken in the propaedeutic courses. For the semester beginning in September, in addition to the exams, it is possible to enroll in the preparatory courses, which usually last 4 to 5 weeks.
Either to take the level exams or to enroll in the propaedeutic course, it is necessary to submit:
Application letter in free format addressed to the program coordinator. Certificate of completed bachelor's degree studies, letter of graduation or transcript of grade exam. In case the certificate does not state the grade point average, attach proof of undergraduate grade point average.
CENEVAL EXANI-III exam score.
ID.
Proof of address.

Infrastructure: The Master's and Doctorate in Applied Sciences program is based at the Institute for Research in Optical Communication (IICO), which has a multidisciplinary vocation. The central objectives are: 1)the development of scientific and technological research projects to areas related to the field of optical communications. 2) the training of engineers and researchers in these areas.
IICO's majors include: Materials Physics, Semiconductor Device Processing, Optics, Communications, Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling. The IICO owns an experimental infrastructure in the areas of characterization and growth of semiconductor materials, one of the most sophisticated and complete in the country. It also has an important infrastructure in communications, electronics and computing.
The IICO's library specializes in optics, semiconductor materials, optoelectronics, communications, discrete mathematics and dynamic systems. It has a collection of more than 5594 volumes of books, 214 Journal Titles, 23822 volumes and receives 371 Postgraduate thesis.
Its purpose is to prepare researchers, professors and technical experts, specialized in the areas of:
1) Electro-optical devices
2) Optical signal processing and/or
3) Electro-optical systems.
In the last two areas, emphasis is placed on practical aspects of the discipline.
The objective of the PhD in Applied Sciences program is to train high-level human resources in cutting-edge scientific topics with technological and/or applied potential, which will have a favorable impact on regional and national technological development. Graduate students will develop skills in technological innovation and scientific work with which they will be able to work as Professor-Researchers in Universities or Research Centers. It is expected that graduate students will be able to perform original scientific research independently, that they will be able to identify and solve technological problems and that they will be able to train high-level postgraduate human resources.
Goals of the curriculum: To train researchers who are experts in their areas of study, with the skills to compete with their international peers.
Admission profile: Students with a Master's degree in related areas.
Graduate profile: The graduate will be able to identify current research problems and propose original and innovative solutions. They will be able to publish their results in international journals with strict arbitration. In addition, they will have the ability to transfer their knowledge and skills to train high-level human resources at the graduate level.
Application Procedure: Applicants for admission to the doctoral program must have a Master of Science degree in the areas of Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related areas; they must also comply with the following requirements:
Submit a written request letter to the coordinator of the Graduate Program in Applied Sciences, specifying the advisor and proposed doctoral topic.
Submit a doctoral research topic protocol, endorsed by the proposed advisor.
Submit an updated Curriculum Vitae of the candidate.
Three letters of recommendation from academics related to the applicant, in sealed envelope.
EXANI III (valid for no more than 12 months).
The PCA Academic Committee will appoint an ad hoc Admissions Subcommittee for the applicant, which schedules and prepares three admission exams (written and/or oral), in areas related to the research work proposed by the applicant. After evaluating the academic background and the applicant's results in these exams, the Admissions Subcommittee may schedule an interview with the applicant, in order to evaluate the degree of commitment and motivation of the applicant to carry out doctoral work.
Finally, the admission of the applicants is discussed in the plenary of the Academic Committee of the PCA where the decision to admit or not is made. The applicant may be accepted under certain conditions, depending on his/her academic performance.
Requirements: Once admitted to the Doctoral Program, the following is required for enrollment:
Application in free format addressed to the area sub-coordinator.
Current birth certificate
Certificate of subjects
Master's degree
Master's degree certificate
ID
Proof of address
Three ID-size photographs
