Master in Chemistry

Master in Chemistry

Polymers for advanced technologies 2nd year

Presentation and goals

The course is devoted to functional polymers used in biomedical applications and fields linked to renewable energies, environment and sustainable development. This master program involves training in and through research in polymers and gives students possibility to work within a company through additional professional training.

Professionally speaking, the jobs available to students after the master programs lie in research and development laboratories of polymer producers (chemical industry) and in industries using polymers such as microelectronics, optoelectronics, fuel cells and batteries, biomedicine, cosmetics, energy storage and conversion and coatings.

The first year of the master in Chemistry leads to four master 2nd year's program : ChemTechCo, CLS, PTA and SOIPA. The different first semester courses offer a scientific knowledge in chemistry and its interfaces with life sciences and polymeric materials. During the course, the students will acquire the disciplinary skills vital for any type of chemist (in particular analytical methods, spectroscopy, experimental and bibliographic techniques, amongst others). By choosing the polymers courses, students inclined towards the functional polymers 2nd year program will also acquire knowledge in the synthesis of polymers with controlled architecture, and in the conformational and configurational analysis of polymers. These classes are supplemented by cross-disciplinary classes focused on languages and graduate employment and by a mandatory internship (from 2 to 5 months) which enables students to get to grips with working in a team, in an academic or industrial setting, in France or abroad.

This program’s aims at giving students the necessary knowledge in polymer science, and at teaching them the novel methods of synthesis, design and characterization of polymer materials with specific properties.

Further studies

The proposed studies are of two types. Students who do not wish to do doctoral dissertations enter either directly into the labor market or follow a second master's degree in order to acquire transversal skills, often in a business school. Students from the training who wish to continue their studies with a thesis find thesis funding.

Sectors of activity

Professions targeted :

> The graduate of can aspire to jobs of technical frame or frame of research and development in the public domain (research laboratories) or private (companies producing or using polymers) :
