The programme’s specific objectives include:

• imparting new information about various topics in mathematics and its applications and the contact with new technologies
• developing the capacity to reflect about fundamental aspects of teaching/learning mathematics as well as about the challenges faced by teachers in the classroom with special emphasis on implementing innovative methods to the classroom teacing of mathematics
• developing and deepening student awareness about the evolution in basic mathematical concepts as well as the ability to reflect on its epistemological significance

Admissions Requirements

• Hold a graduation in mathematics or related field, preferably with math teaching experience;
• Hold a foreign higher academic degree in one of the areas described in the previous paragraph;
• Students enrolled in Postgraduate Mathematics for Teachers in previous school years;
• To be the holder of a school, scientific or professional curriculum that the scientific committee of the course recognizes as sufficient to attest the capacity to carry out this cycle of studies.
