* Biological Sciences This Master´s degree Programme consists of three stages: 1) the Common Basic Cycle (CBC), as required for all careers at the University of Buenos Aires, 2) the Basic Professional Cycle of Biological Sciences (CPB) and 3) the Superior Professional Cycle (CPS). The CPB, which comprises 13 subjects, concentrates all the scientist's basic training. The CPS consists of 10 subjects (or 9 subjects and a bachelor's thesis) and is carried out in the orientation chosen by the student. Different from the CPB, the CPS curriculum is not rigid, but each student must agree on a study plan under the guidance of a teacher (Study Plan´s Tutor). The subjects of the complete Study plan and the corresponding requirement of study hours can be found here "Plan de Estudio": * Computer Sciences * Physical Sciences * Geological Sciences * Mathematical Sciences * Chemical Sciences * Paleontology

Postgraduate degrees

The School also offers Masters of Science and Ph.D. degrees.
