Mathematics is the foundation upon which modern science and the resulting technological development of our society are built. It permeates every aspect of our world: disciplines such as engineering, computer science, the social sciences, and economics; and fields such as business, healthcare, and public administration, among others. It explores concepts such as quantity, space, structure, and change—topics that are woven into everything we do.

The education offered by the Catholic University prepares you to study, research, and apply mathematical models that seek efficient solutions to specific problems. As a graduate of this specialization, you will be able to work as a mathematician, a teacher, or a researcher, applying your knowledge in industry. Potential employers for mathematicians include universities, research institutes, industries, and companies in fields as diverse as engineering, business administration, computer science, banking, and insurance. You can also pursue a master’s or doctoral degree at any university in Chile or abroad.
