DEGREES

Master in Chemistry

In this Master program, the discipline “Molecular Chemistry and Physicochemistry” consists of courses displayed in English and opened to international students.


Objectives of the program

The main objective of the M.S. in Chemistry is to meet the expectations of the companies by offering a program with a specialization covering several domains of activity which are recognized as sources of employment : chemical analysis, surface treatments, biomaterials, environmental preservation, modeling, synthesis.

The M.S. in Chemistry aims also to train future specialists highly qualified for laboratories of Doctoral Schools, C2MP (Chemistry, Mehanics and Molecular Physics), SIMPPE (Science and Engineering of Molecules Products and Energy) and other partner laboratories, with the ambition of an international opening by ensuring to give students a solid linguistic basis and the taste of mobility.


Tracks
  • Chemistry of Solids (CdS, in French)
  • Synthesis, Characterization, Environment (SCE, in French)
  • Synthesis Modelling Analysis Spectrometry (SAMS, in English)
    MCP takes place during the second year of Master (third and fourth semesters of the Master (S9 and S10)), and is opened to students granted after the 1st year of a Master program in Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Physical and Chemical Sciences, Biochemistry, Basic and Applied Sciences, and to engineer-students having finished two years of studies. Applications will be examined by the teaching team. An interview (telephone and / or face-to-face) is often proposed.
