Master in Mathematical Sciences of the University of Chile closes its applications this October 31

The program, in force since the 1990s and with accreditation until 2025, opens its call for next year with favorable scholarships and an outstanding academic faculty.

The master lasts a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 3 years, whose study plan is made up of three required courses of a semester course in each of the fundamental thematic axes of mathematics: analysis and algebra or in topology and three specialized semester courses in the area chosen by the student for their thesis. Then comes the thesis project, a written translation exam from a foreign language relevant to the activities of the program (preferably English), and finally, the degree exam.

“What characterizes us are the lines of research that are developed in the program and the quality of the people who make up its faculty, since all its members are of the highest level nationally and internationally recognized” he indicated Juan Pozo Vera, General Coordinator of the Master’s Program. Who also emphasizes the efficient communication between the master’s and doctoral programs.

The program is developed in 3 lines of research: Dynamic Systems and Differential Equations, Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory and Harmonic Analysis and Representation Theory.

The objective is advanced training in a broad area of ​​Mathematics that achieves an efficient and creative professional in teaching, research and its application, training promoters of the development of teaching and scientific research, in order to contribute to the growth of the discipline.

To apply you must have possession of the degree of Graduate or equivalent in the respective discipline or related, awarded by national or foreign universities.Undergraduate final year students can also apply by attaching a certificate from their University and a Report or Concentration of Notes, it will only be accepted if they obtain a university degree. The application is made online and a letter of intent, curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation, degree certificate and concentration of grades are requested.

The program is in force for approximately 30 years, and in its current form, is accredited for 7 years, until 2025. Among its benefits, the possibility of applying for a scholarship stands out, lowers the tariff up to 50%, The only requirement is to be a regular student. additionallye, if the student has registered the thesis writing then the discount is 75%.

The degree is obtained by writing a thesis, reviewed by an ad hoc commission, in relation to this, the coordinator highlighted that “the theses of the last time were of such a level that they have been published in specialized magazines of high reputation”.

To date, 83 members of the program have graduated, among whom are Vincent Lenz, winner of the Jorge Billeke Prize and who continued his doctoral studies at the Technische Universiteit Delft. another one is Ignatius Saavedra, who completed his doctoral studies at the University of Chile and currently serves as Head of the Mathematics Area at the Diego Portales University. And also Leslie Jimenezwho obtained her Doctorate at the University of Chile, a Postdoctorate at Linköpig, Sweden and today is an Academic of the Department of Mathematics.
