There are two ways to enter the Master’s program, passing four induction courses:

Algebra (duration of 24 hours).

Calculus (duration of 24 hours).

Programming (duration of 24 hours).

Each of these courses has the following objectives: to provide a homogeneous body of knowledge to the entire group and give the candidates an evaluation of their mathematical knowledge and skills.

Each of the Graduating Blocks may require additional evaluations, depending in their respective topics and objectives. Furthermore, candidates must fulfill the following requirements:

Candidates must also submit all documentation required by the Departmental Division of Postgraduate Studies and Research, as well as that required by university regulations.

The Master’s program in Applied Mathematics is aimed primarily at candidates who have the following educational backgrounds:

Bachelor of mathematics.

Bachelor of statistical analysis.

Bachelor of physics or any major in engineering with a solid mathematical foundation.

However, due to the fact that the educational model of UAQ emphasizes the importance of the student’s individual responsibility for his or her learning, candidates having a different educational background will be considered. This will be determined in accordance with the judgment of the admissions committee, given the candidates meet the requirements of evaluation for the areas covered in the induction courses and the admissions exam.

Furthermore, for candidates to be considered for admission they must have obtained a grade point average of 8 (or equivalent) in their bachelor’s degree studies.

Graduates will have gained the following skills:

Understanding of theories and methods of applied mathematics.

Mathematical intuition.

Realization of teaching activities, at the high school and college level, with a high level of analysis and application corresponding to the teaching context.

Application of knowledge and methods studied towards the solution of problems in their specialization..

Be able to acquire mathematical knowledge independently.

The courses in the basic block are distributed in the following manner (the blocks correspond to the different graduating tracks).
