Aim

To form high-level independent researchers that create or strengthen research groups in public or private institutions dedicated to the study of diseases caused by infectious agents in general and/or chronic degenerative diseases, able to generate and apply knowledge in original and innovative way in basic and applied biomedical areas to contribute to the solution of problems of the health sector.

Time required

Traditional PhD: 48 months (8 semesters)
TENEMOS DOCTORADO DIRECTO

Admission Requirements

  • Having the degree of Master in Science in one of the disciplines related to biomedical, natural sciences or exact sciences
  • Having a minimum score average of 8 on a scale of zero to ten, or the equivalent (B = 8) in other Masters’ studies
  • Intermediate English knowledge from IPN-CENLEX or an equivalent from other language institutions.
  • Conduct an interview with all the teachers of the DIPM
  • The students that have the Master degree from the DIPM can have an automatic pass to doctoral studies if they have the support by the Professor´s College
  • Students from other Departments or Institutions must present an examination, which will include a presentation of the Masters work in 40 minutes, followed by a question session. During this presentation, the Professor´s College will evaluate some of the candidate's skills such as:
    • Their ability to develop a hypothesis
    • Conceive, plan and develop an experimental work and
    • Communicate verbally
  • Being accepted by a professor from the DPIM
  • When necessary the Professor´s College will define if the applicant needs to take additional courses
  • Approval of the Professor´s College of the DIPM
