UNAM Coordinacion de Estudios de Posgrado

What UNAM Coordinacion de Estudios de Posgrado does

UNAM Coordinación de Estudios de Posgrado refers to the Secretaría de Servicios Escolares, an administrative department within the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), located at Ciudad Universitaria in Mexico City. The unit provides centralized academic administration services — including enrollment, course registration, grade recording, graduation processing, and credential issuance — for both undergraduate (pregrado) medical and health sciences programs such as Médico Cirujano, Fisioterapia, Neurociencias, and Ciencia Forense, and graduate (posgrado) programs including medical specializations and high-specialty postgraduate medical training. Operationally, it serves a captive internal user base consisting of enrolled students and teaching faculty of a single public institution, with service delivery through in-person office hours and institutional web portals.

The department is part of UNAM, a public autonomous university founded in 1910 and owned by the Mexican federal government, and therefore does not operate as a commercial enterprise. There is no tuition revenue, no product pricing, no funding rounds, and no parent company outside of government — services are funded through public appropriations and delivered free of charge. The organization is led by Dra. María de los Ángeles Fernández Altuna (Secretaria de Servicios Escolares), reporting within the Faculty of Medicine governance structure headed by Directora Dra. Ana Carolina Sepúlveda. Headcount is reported at 11 employees, consistent with a small administrative unit rather than an academic or research body.

The technology footprint is limited to a content-managed institutional website and basic online academic service portals, with no proprietary platform, API, app, or third-party integrations disclosed. Marketing, distribution, partnerships, patents, awards, and acquisitions are not applicable to this entity. Recent operational activity — including the posting of 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 academic calendars, digital service surveys, and password security advisories in July 2025 — indicates stable continuity of administrative functions rather than strategic expansion or restructuring.

Emerging players

• Ellucian: Largest SIS vendor in higher education (Banner, Colleague, PowerCampus). A natural modernization alternative for the office's enrollment, grade, and credentialing workflows if UNAM proceeds with digital transformation.
• Workday Student: Cloud-native SIS module from Workday, increasingly selected by large research universities for student records, registration, and academic advising. Represents the modern architectural direction against which UNAM's current manual operations are implicitly benchmarked.
• Anthology: Major higher-education technology provider (formerly Blackboard) offering SIS, CRM, and student-success products adopted by many large universities. Adjacent / enabling peer that could replace or augment the manual administrative functions currently performed by the office.

Direct peers

• Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM): Mexico City-based public autonomous university offering health sciences programs through its Xochimilco and Iztapalapa campuses with similar Coordinación de Servicios Escolares functions. Same public-autonomous governance model and student-administration scope.
• Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN): Another large Mexican federal public university with medical/health sciences programs and parallel student-services (Servicios Escolares) administrative structures serving undergraduate and graduate students. Directly comparable in mission, governance, and administrative function.

Broad incumbents

• Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL): Large Mexican public autonomous university with a medical school and centralized student-administration function. Provides a peer benchmark for how other large Mexican public universities administer undergraduate and graduate medical academic services.
• Universidad de Guadalajara: One of Mexico's largest public university systems, with a network of regional university centers and an established student-administration function analogous to UNAM's. Comparable scale and breadth, though encompassing multiple campuses.
• Tecnológico de Monterrey: Mexico's leading private university system, with an established medical school (Escuela de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud) and significantly more invested digital student-services infrastructure — sets the upper benchmark for student-experience expectations that UNAM's medical school admin must meet.

Regional players

• Universidad Nacional de Colombia: Comparable Latin American public university with a flagship medical school (Facultad de Medicina) and similar student-administration culture; useful peer for understanding how sister national universities structure medical-school academic administration.

Others

• Secretaría de Servicios Académicos, UNAM — broader UNAM student admin layer: The Dirección General de Administración Escolar (DGAE) at UNAM central administration coordinates university-wide academic services; the Facultad de Medicina's Secretaría de Servicios Escolares operates as a faculty-level counterpart within the same institutional ecosystem. Useful peer for understanding the governance and integration context.
