The master's degree in chemistry is research training in a particular field of chemistry. It includes advanced courses (20% of credits) and a significant research component (80% of credits). Learning is active and takes place mainly in the research laboratory. It involves planning, carrying out and interpreting original research experiments; improving scientific knowledge; and the development of critical qualities. It takes the form of writing a dissertation. The master's degree in chemistry lasts on average 2 years.

The MSc in Chemistry is a research program that can be customized according to your aspirations and is versatile enough for the career you envision. The diversity of career paths requires solid basic training and requires great flexibility on your part. All areas of chemistry are covered, whether in environmental chemistry, energy, spectroscopy, organic, bio-organic or inorganic synthesis, or even physical or theoretical chemistry. You are integrated into a research group from the start of your schooling and learn to carry out laboratory research independently. The projects take place in close collaboration between you, the research team and your research director, and you benefit from a personalized program. You have 3 courses to take and must write a master's thesis; This dissertation is evaluated by a jury, but there is no defense of the dissertation.
