Program Overview

Master Frontiers in Chemistry

The Master Frontiers in Chemistry program is a two-year, full-time course of study offered at Université Paris Cité, France. The program is taught in English and awards a Master Frontiers in Chemistry degree upon completion.

Course Overview

The academic program combines training in Molecular Chemistry directed towards Life sciences and in Physical chemistry oriented towards Nanosciences, Surface science, and Energy. This Master’s program is supported by high-level research laboratories with international reputation and network.

Program Structure

The program is divided into two years:

• The first year (M1) provides students with a strong background in the various aspects of molecular chemistry, physical chemistry, and reactivity at the interfaces with materials, surface, and life sciences.
  • Theoretical knowledge acquired through tutoring and analysis of scientific articles is complemented by a 2 to 5 months internship.
  • Through the choice of optional courses, students can prepare their second year specialization.
• The second year (M2) is intended to provide extensive knowledge and training in various topics including molecular chemistry, electrochemistry, spectroscopies, environmental chemistry, chemistry for life sciences, or chemistry for energy.
  • Students can choose among four itineraries:
    • Organic, Biomolecular & Medicinal (OBMC)
    • Chemistry for Nanoscience and Energy (CHENS)
    • Physical Chemistry for Life Sciences (Phys-Chem-Life)
    • Analytical Sciences for Environment (SAFE)
  • A six months’ internship will complete the Master’s Degree.

Entry Requirements

• Students must have obtained or be in the process of validating a Licence 3 or a Bachelor’s degree.
• Students may enter directly the 2nd year of the program under certain conditions.
• Certified B2 level in English is required.

Skills and Competencies Developed
