In the IQ, many and diverse contributions to the development of Chemistry have been made.

This official site provides information for prospective students and staff. The Institute of Chemistry fulfills its responsibility towards the development of higher education participating as an academic entity with the Chemical and Biomedical Sciences graduate programs. The Institute of Chemistry collaborates also with the Material Sciences, Biochemistry and Biology graduate programs. Additionally, research work is carried out by students to obtain B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees.

Since its inception 100 years ago, first as the School of Chemical Sciences in Tacuba and since 1965 as the Faculty of Chemistry of the UNAM, our Faculty has been at the head of related academic institutions in the country and has trained several generations of professionals of chemistry, contributing in a very significant way to prepare leading graduates, who have influenced the industrial transformation of Mexico. The academic work that the Faculty of Chemistry has carried out throughout this time has helped it to obtain the prestige and international recognition that it now enjoys.

Mission: To train professionals of excellence with broad capabilities in chemical science and technology, committed to adding value to society, within the framework of the country's sustainable development.

The Engineering Institute of the UNAM is the center where the most important technological advances in the country and the great investigations that raise the prestige of the UNAM are generated. Interest in the environment; the development of macro-projects and the desire to find solutions to national problems have been present in this Institute since its inception, in 1956, with a great impact on society. Committed to the development of the country and the well-being of society, in our laboratories we study transport and housing problems, the use of energy and water resources. To be at the forefront, we research and innovate in information technology. In order to train specialized personnel, this entity has been a pioneer in establishing a scholarship program to incorporate Mexican and foreign students who are studying undergraduate and graduate degrees and who wish to carry out academic stays, thesis, research projects and social service in projects. Thanks to the work carried out by our community, the Engineering Institute has managed to position itself as one of the most prestigious entities, and has become a benchmark in research at a national and international level.

La Facultad de Estudios Superiores Cuautitlán is a multidisciplinary entity of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, recognized for the excellence of its academic, research and cultural extension programs; engaged in improving the levels of quality and educational competitiveness in order to offer comprehensive training to the entire university community.

The Materials Research Institute of the UNAM has its antecedents in the Materials Center since February 1, 1967 and later changed its name to Materials Research Institute in 1969.

Carrying out scientific and technological research on the structure, properties, transformation processes and performance of materials is the mission of this research insitute. To achieve this, the institute works and collaborates with the industry and with other national and international academic institutions through a large number of projects. Frontier research projects are being carried out in areas such as metals, ceramics, polymers, computer simulations of materials, superconductivity, nanomaterials, thin films, optics, rheology and sustainable materials. It is also part of its mission, to train high-level academic personnel in the area of ??materials, for which the IIM-UNAM offers students the opportunity to carry out their undergraduate, master's and doctoral thesis work in areas related to the Specialties of the Institute and, in particular, within the Master's and Doctorate programs in Materials Science and Engineering of the UNAM, whose coordination resides in the Institute.

Today the Materials Research Institute is one of the main institutions in the country dedicated to the study and research of materials in their various types.
