Program Overview

Program Overview

The Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is an intermediate academic title that crowns 3 years of study. Once acquired, it opens up the possibility of advanced training with Master’s studies in the section: Master of Science in Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology and Master of Science in Molecular & Biological Chemistry.

Program Structure

The Bachelor’s degree in chemistry consists of three stages:

1. Propaedeutic Cycle (1st year): Initial training in the basic sciences, i.e., chemistry, mathematics, physics, and programming (information processing, calculation, and communication).
2. Common Bachelor Cycle (2nd year): General training in chemistry and initial training in chemical engineering, including classical knowledge of these fields, mathematics applied to chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry.
3. Bachelor Cycle – Chemistry or Chemical Engineering Orientation (3rd year): The student may choose to study in either chemistry or chemical engineering, depending on the field they wish to enter in their future career.

Chemistry Orientation

The chemistry orientation prepares students to become active chemists in analytical chemistry or in research in biological chemistry, synthetic chemistry, computational chemistry, and physical chemistry.

Chemical Engineering Orientation

The chemical engineering and biotechnology orientation provides the basis for becoming a chemical engineer for production in the company.

Program Details

• The Bachelor’s degree is given in French.
• The holder of a Bachelor’s degree in chemistry can also pursue advanced studies in related fields of chemistry, e.g., in the environment, pharmaceutical sciences, materials sciences, or even patent law.
• Students must obtain a sufficient average in the practical branches and in the theoretical branches to be promoted to the Bachelor cycle.
