Peruvian professionals seeking advanced education have a new opportunity with the National University of San Marcos (UNMSM) opening admissions for its 2026-II postgraduate programs. The university is offering more than 80 master's and doctoral degrees, aiming to attract over 2,600 professionals.

The diverse range of specializations spans five key academic areas: Health Sciences, Engineering, Basic Sciences, Economic and Management Sciences, and Humanities, Legal and Social Sciences. This broad offering aims to cater to a wide spectrum of academic and professional interests.

Among the highlighted programs are master's degrees in Health Services Management, Regional and Municipal Public Management, Clinical Chemistry, and Communication Didactics and Innovation. Other options include specializations in Artificial Intelligence for Administration, Economics, and Territorial Planning. Detailed information on courses, requirements, and the application process is available on the UNMSM Postgraduate website and social media channels.

The university clarified that master's programs typically span two years (four semesters), while doctoral programs extend to three years (six semesters). A significant feature of these programs is their predominantly semi-presential format, with 70% of the coursework conducted virtually. This flexible approach allows students to participate from anywhere in Peru. In-person sessions are limited to twice per academic semester, held at the Ciudad Universitaria, to ensure a comprehensive educational experience.
