Information for the student – Advanced Microbiology

Microbiology is currently a common and basic discipline in all fields of specialization related to Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, and Environmental Sciences, given that microorganisms play an essential role in the transformation of organic matter, in geochemical changes, and in the production of disease in both humans and animals. This makes the importance of Microbiology undeniable in the industrial, food, environmental, and healthcare sectors.

The fundamental objective of the Master's in Advanced Microbiology is to provide students with the academic and technical training necessary to begin a research career in the field of microbiology or to enter the labor market as a microbiologist. The Master's program emphasizes the integrative and multidisciplinary training of students, placing significant emphasis on the experimental work carried out in clinical laboratories, universities, or research centers, under the supervision of a professor or specialist. This work accounts for one-third of the total credits awarded.
