Program Overview

Program Overview

The M2 Molecular Chemistry and Interfaces program is a full-time academic program taught entirely in English. It offers a compulsory core curriculum, including a practical module, supplemented by à la carte training consisting of a choice of 10 course units from a panel of 17. This allows each student to create their own profile in molecular chemistry and its interfaces with biology, health, the environment, digital chemistry, and materials science.

Program Structure

• The program includes a 6-month research internship in academia or industry in the field of molecular chemistry.
• A literature project related to the research internship topic is undertaken in parallel to the courses.
• The theoretical training (4 months) is supplemented by a bibliographic project and a six-month research internship.

Skills and Objectives

Skills

• Present scientific results in English, orally and in writing.
• Communicate information and results to different audiences.

Objectives

The program aims to train students to a very high scientific level, enabling them to adapt to a wide range of issues in molecular chemistry, as well as in related fields such as biology, health, the environment, and materials science.
