The Mexican Institutions
INAOE
The National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electrónica (INAOE) was created by presidential decree the 11 of November of 1971 like a decentralized, of public interest, with legal personality and own patrimony, located organism in Tonantzintla, Puebla, with the following objectives:- To prepare specialized, expert and technical investigators, professors in astrophysics, optics and electronics.
- To try the solution of scientific and technological problems related to the mentioned disciplines.
- To orient its activities of investigation and teaching towards the overcoming of the conditions and resolution of the problems of the country.
- With this decree the INAOE has the faculty to distribute courses and to grant degrees of masters and doctorate in the diverse disciplines that in him are developed.
UNAM
The National Autonomous University of Mexico (Spanish: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, abbreviated UNAM) is a large public university in Mexico. It was founded on September 21, 1551 as the Real y Pontificia Universidad de México (Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico) and is the second oldest university in the Americas, just behind the National University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru (founded on May 12, 1551). It is the largest university in Latin America. In addition, it is the only university in Mexico with three Nobel Laureates among its former students: Alfonso García Robles (Peace), Octavio Paz (Literature), and Mario Molina (Chemistry).Scientific research at UNAM is divided between 18 Faculties, 32 Institutes, 25 Centers and 4 Schools, and covers a range of disciplines unmatched in Latin America. Some of the more noted Institutes include: Instituto de Astronomía, Instituto de Biotecnología, Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, Instituto de Ecología, Instituto de Física, Instituto de Fisiología Celular, Instituto de Geofísica, Instituto de Ingeniería, Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales, Instituto de Química. UNAM's scientific output continues to grow at a remarkable pace, the University currently produces 60% of all scientific publications in Mexico.
Currently UNAM has 76 professional degrees, 40 postgraduate programs. It has 156,434 bachelor students and 20,747 postgraduate students. The total student population, including high school programs and other specializations, is 286,484.
According to The Times Higher Education Supplement 2005 edition (London) that coincides with other worldwide recognized ranking lists. UNAM is:
- 1st in Latin America, Spain and Portugal
- 20th best in the field of the Arts and Humanities
- 93rd best in the field of the Sciences
- 74th best university in the world (all fields)
- 28th best university outside of North America and Europe
Universidad de Guanajuato
The University of Guadalajara is a fully accredited Mexican University that was founded in 1732 by the Society of Jesuits. In 1945 it became the University of Guanajuato. Since then the University of Guanajuato has demonstrated constant academic and demographic development. Currently, 42 professional degrees, 16 major areas of study, 24 masters degrees and 6 doctorates are offered in 23 different schools, 6 research institutes and 4 research centers. There are approximately 21,000 high school, undergraduate and graduate students enrolled.Cinvestav
The Advanced Study and Research center of the National Polytechnical Institute (Spanish: Centro de Investigacion y Estudios Avanzados. Abbreviated Cinvestav) was created by a Presidential Decree that sent the Lic. Adolph Lopez Mateos, the 17 of April of 1961, and that also modified by Decree, the Lic. Jose Lopez Opening, the 17 of September of 1982. The main targets that the Cinvestav persecutes are: to prepare specialized investigators and professors who promote the constant overcoming of education and to generate the conditions for the accomplishment of original investigations in diverse scientific areas and technological that allows to elevate the standards of life and to impel the development of the country.At the present time, the Center counts on following the 28 organized academic departments in 8 Units: three located in the located City of Mexico and 5 inside the Mexican Republic. It has 31 postgraduate programs. Cinvestav is the second most important source of scientific research in Mexico.
