Postgraduate programmes, Masters and Doctorates of UNGS

The postgraduate offer of UNGS is characterised as being specifically orientated to prioritise certain areas with respect to the challenges and relevant social needs, and in where intense research activities are carried out in conjunction with the training. The existence of solid teaching staff, generally interdisciplinary, with a high level of dedication –fully and semi-dedicated–, give the postgraduate students the possibility to have a deeper interaction with research teams which work in central issues relevant to the course outline. This makes the access the postgraduate students have to teachers, tutors and thesis directors, who are permanent workers in the university, easier, guaranteeing the easy flow of knowledge as well as the supervisor support needed for a successful conclusion of their papers and especially their thesis. All this constitutes a crucial point in the postgraduate offer of the UNGS, who innovates and makes a different offer compared to the other university offers in Argentina. At the same time, this makes it possible for the active integration of postgraduate students with research teams, teachers and tutors in the research and framework, deploying of their own capacities in the areas each research team works.
