Benefits of the program
This Chemistry Master's degree provides core training in methods for developing/synthesising, characterising and analysing the properties of molecules or materials. The course also includes modelling modules. The first-year programme covers all areas of chemistry, from physical chemistry to molecular chemistry, as well as certification and quality assurance. Students can specialise in each of these fields in the second year.
Acquired skills
Give students a broad foundation of knowledge on the structure, synthesis and analysis of matter, in relation to its reactivity.
International
Students can carry out funded periods abroad (e.g. Erasmus) through the international relations departments of UGE and UPEC.

Your future career
After the first year, four second-year options are available:
- Molecular Physical Chemistry and Applications
- Chemistry of Bioactive Molecules
- Quality Analysis and Assurance (apprenticeship)
- Functional Polymers
The course is suitable for students with career objectives in either research or the professional world. The professional or research-based focus of this second-year Master’s course is determined by the compulsory work placement in the second semester. Students can also enrol in a course at the French Higher Institute for Professorship and Education (INSPE) in chemistry, physics or physics and chemistry.
