The PhD in Sciences program is very complete, the professors know a lot about different subjects and you can learn a variety of matters. They allow you to reach a point in your research where knowledge is new to humanity, that is the final aim of a PhD. The thing I liked the most about the program is that it is mandatory to go to another country to make at least 6 months of research with another research group. They also support you financially.

They could improve the support and time each professor can give to each student. The thing about doing a PhD is that it is hard, and most of the job you will have to figure out how to do it by yourself. This is not a problem of Universidad de Los Andes, it is worldwide, and I wish I had the support I needed before I felt completely lost. Many PhDs have this issue around the world, I wish I had known all those things before starting the program. Now I am trying to help more students, so they won’t feel alone or lost during this professional step.
