The Master of Science in Forest Products is an internationally accredited program by the International Society of Wood Science and Technology ( SWST ), a distinction awarded for 10 years (2025-2035).
The Master's Program in Forestry and Lignocellulosic Materials (MCPF) is research-oriented, aiming to provide broad and rigorous training in areas related to forest products and lignocellulosic materials, such as the pulp and paper industries, wood-based products, and conversion and recycling products. It fosters the development of creative and methodological skills for organizing and undertaking scientific research and technological development projects, as well as for disseminating knowledge. This graduate program has contributed to regional, national, and even international development by training specialized human resources in lignocellulosic materials science and technology, who have successfully entered the job market in both the educational and productive sectors.
The program boasts a core faculty of highly experienced professors, members of the National System of Researchers and recipients of PRODEP recognition, as well as research infrastructure. The recent addition of new professors has not only maintained but even enhanced the academic standards. This ensures the training of highly specialized human resources in lignocellulosic materials science, the chemical and biological functionalization of biomaterials, and the nanoscience and nanotechnology of biomaterials. The program fosters the generation of new knowledge and the development and innovation of forestry processes and products, with a vision of the comprehensive and sustainable use of fibrous raw materials.
Graduates of the program are masters of science who promote the country's scientific and technological development, as well as their own professional growth and continuous professional development in their field. They possess analytical and problem-solving skills, including professional interaction with specialists from other scientific disciplines, fostering multi- and transdisciplinary work, and are capable of disseminating knowledge both orally and in writing. The program's training cultivates diverse competencies in graduates, such as becoming entrepreneurial specialists trained to implement techniques, methods, processes, and knowledge for the study of lignocellulosic materials and the efficient and sustainable comprehensive use of forest resources, while respecting the conservation of natural resources.
Furthermore, the program promotes values such as professional ethics, honesty, responsibility, and other universal values, always fostering an interest in the challenges facing society, the region, and the country. These characteristics of the program's students and graduates are promoted and strengthened through continuous participation in research seminars, conferences with national and international experts, workshops, and complementary training courses, as well as a significant emphasis on mobility through research stays at partner institutions both nationally and internationally. This, in turn, fosters a robust training process in scientific research.
