This structure allows you to reinforce your core chemistry background, expand it, and tailor the program to your interests in domains central to our society: functional materials, energy, green chemistry, sustainable development, and health. Your formation is complemented by transferable skills courses, covering topics that range from career development to entrepreneurship. During this two-year Master in chemistry in France, you will be supported by a scholarship; after completing the Master, CSC graduates are well prepared to pursue PhD programs in leading academic and industrial research environments worldwide. Complexity made simple!

This Master covers the physical and chemical aspects of functional ceramic materials (solid or in layers), their processes of development, shaping, and controls in a transversal way.

Specialized Masters in Circular Economy Engineering applied to Sustainable Materials. The objective of the Specialized Master in Engineering of the Circular Economy Applied to Sustainable Materials is to develop the expertise of professionals confronted with emerging problems of recycling of sustainable materials, eco-design, in particular in the regulated context of the law anti-waste for a circular economy. The proposed approach focuses on the sector from the perspective of creating territorial or even national value in the sector of activity, and responding to skills and professions in tension, identified by France Compétences.

The Bachelor of Global Engineering is a joint undergraduate program between CentraleSupélec (France) and McGill University’s Faculty of Engineering (Canada). Over four years, an international cohort study an intensive and multidisciplinary engineering curriculum taught in English within a French-speaking culture. Students spend two years at CentraleSupélec, where they follow a common curriculum and benefit from the French excellence in mathematics and science within a Grande École. They then spend two years at McGill, specializing in one of the nine streams offered as part of the program. This new joint program aims to tackle the challenges of the modern world: environmental, societal, and corporate. The curriculum mixes the best of the two systems and develops scientific excellence and best practices for global engineering in both the multicultural and multidisciplinary sense.

ll courses are taught in English, so proficiency in English is required. Two of the Partners are engineering Universities (PL and IT), which is important for the program goals towards excellence in nano-engineering innovation. The third partner (FR) has a strong chemical nano-science profile which will allows us to teach our students the chemical fundamentals during the first semester in Marseille. The complementarity among the three partners plays a key role in coherence of the joint program: (you find the description of courses here constantly being updated).
