1st year, a year of general education
The first year of our Master’s program is a year of education in general chemistry, physical chemistry and molecular chemistry with a large spectra of units, including units giving the opportunity to the students to discover some aspects of recent researches as well as the derived technologies.
Mainly based on the specificities that characterize the research in Paris Diderot, a major goal is to transmit the basic knowledge needed to succeed in the second year (M2) of a Physical Chemistry or Molecular Chemistry Master’s program.
This is completed with a training period the students the possibility of a first professional experience in industry or in a public research laboratory, in France or abroad. This is the best way to decide for their future orientation, to precise their professional project, toward the academic or the industrial world.
The first semester contains a common core dealing with all general aspects of physical chemistry and molecular chemistry. Some of the courses are held in Paris Descartes University or in Paris North University. The second semester offer a wide range of optional courses allowing the students to strengthen their skills in a given scientific domain and /or to enlarge their basic knowledge in order to enter in the best conditions the 2nd year Master’s program of their choice. An extra module of Engineering Science allows an opening towards the professional stakes of a career as chemist.
