Presentation

Students are gradually educated in organic synthesis of molecules, from the first year of the master’s degree, learning the fundamental principles of organic chemistry, to the second year of the master’s degree in Organic synthesis, during which students will learn retrosynthesis of complex molecules, the latest methodological developments in asymmetric organic synthesis, as well as the real implementation of syntheses, analysis, identification and characterization of the obtained products.

This program of the master’s degree in synthetic Chemistry aims at training research and development executives for laboratories and industries involved in fine chemicals (for example flavourings and fragrances) and the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

This 2nd year's program aims at educating in synthetic chemistry, by putting emphasis both on the experimental aspect of this scientific field (a lot of experimental training and internship in academic or industrial laboratories) and on theoretical aspects with teaching based on the most up-to-date methods and concepts, coming from research in this field.

And after

Further studies

Generally, students who want to (in particular those who have chosen the research option of the Organic synthesis program) can continue their studies with PhD study in order to become doctors in organic chemistry. Students who do not want to do a PhD (professional option of the Organic synthesis program) can either directly work or can apply for an additional master's degree, often in a school of management or business administration.

Sector(s)

  • Fine chemicals (flavourings, fragrant active principles for cosmetics) and pure compound synthesis
  • Pharmaceutical industries
  • Agrochemical industries
  • Research and teaching

The 2nd year's master in Organic Synthesis leads to the following careers : Graduates can apply for jobs such as technical manager or research and development manager in the public sphere (research bodies, universities) or in private companies. Following a doctoral degree, students can become researchers (in public bodies or private companies) or research professors.

  • Following the 2nd year's master : design engineer, process engineer (R&D, monitoring / optimisation of processes), chemist / advanced research technician, careers in scientific leadership, communications and education
  • Following a doctoral degree : researcher (bodies such as CNRS, INSERM, etc), research professor (universities and higher education establishments), chemical engineer or researcher (private companies) in research and development
  • Other potential careers (after additional training) : purchasing manager, quality manager, HSE manager, specialist in regulatory affairs, specialist in intellectual property, product manager, documentalist, product flow manager, technical sales representative, physics/chemistry professor or school teacher
