If you like chemistry, if you are passionate about research, if you have an open mind and aim for excellence and PhD studies, come and join the Graduate School IntREE and its Master of Chemistry dedicated to research on the development of sustainable chemistry and eco-friendly processes, environmental remediation, clean energy production and catalysis.

The Master of Science (MSc) CPCM "Chemistry and Physico-Chemistry of Materials" provides a complete education program in the field of materials, by addressing all aspects related to their synthesis/elaboration, their fine characterization, and their implementation for specific applications. In the title of this master's program, the term "Chemistry" refers to synthesis and elaboration aspects, while the term "Physico-Chemistry" refers to characterization science and understanding of mechanisms and phenomena taking place at different scales of the material (micro/nano or surface/bulk). The training delivered by Master CPCM allows you to find rapidly a job in the industry as a senior executive, in all sectors of activity using or designing materials, as soon as you have obtained the Master's degree. Alternatively, you can continue your training with a Ph.D. thesis (three years), which is an advantage in several fields of research and development.

The aim of the proposed graduate research program Environmental Analytical Chemistry and Microbiology (EACM) is to form experts with up-to-date knowledge of advanced analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, molecular biology, and environmental microbiology to elucidate the behavior and fate of contaminants from pollution sources to living organisms, to assess their impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning, and to implement solutions to maintain ecosystems health.

The Master of Engineering program offers targeted, industry-focused training in Formulation Chemistry, Leather Technology, Plastic Materials, and Textile Materials. It features a practical, scientific approach and is taught in English.

Today, the chemical industry must adapt to the increasing scarcity of resources, new regulations, and social, ecological and political pressure. In this context, the use of renewable resources like feedstock or microbial biomass constitutes an interesting alternative to manufacture functional bioproducts and contribute to the energetic transtition, thus representing significant levers for innovation. By combining the disciplines of green chemistry, catalysis, bioprocesses and formulation, the Green CAP MSc aims to provide the student with the essential tools for developing clean and safe processes in the emerging fields of agribusiness.

Strongly increasing societal demand in the fields of Environment, Sustainable Development and Health, implies a synergy of advanced skills in Chemistry and Biology Sciences. In order to be able to effectively respond to this demand and to implement innovative solutions providing efficient answers to these requests, it is essential to perfectly understand the interaction of contaminants with living organisms and particularly their structures, properties, reactivities/activities in natural ecosystems.

An inspiring international research environment with 3 active Nobel Prize laureates in chemistry, prepares you to use chemical complexity as a tool to lead innovation in academia and industry. The graduate school in Complex Systems Chemistry offers a Master program in a cosmopolitan environment in the heart of Europe, with over 15 different nationalities sharing a common goal: mastering complexity to innovate. This Master program offers 8 months of courses - covering frontier aspects of modern chemistry - and 14 months of research-based internships in three laboratories. 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!

The Master of Chemistry from Paris Center is a co-accredited training between PSL University and Sorbonne University (SU). Rich and modular, it presents chemistry in a general and in-depth manner, transversal and open to its interfaces, in particular with physics and biology. Anchored in the world of the most contemporary research and innovation, sensitive to the current challenges of our societies, it trains high-level scientific executives who can, at the end of their master's degree, integrate into a wide variety of professional environments, whether in the job market or through the preparation of a doctorate. The general character and excellence in chemistry is ensured by a first year at PSL or at SU depending on the chosen courses.

Increasing concern over issues on food and uses of natural products in the Mediterranean area has formed the basis for a Master’s of Science (M.Sc.) degree on “Food Quality and Chemistry of Natural Products”. The programme is chemistry oriented and aims at the specialisation of students in Food Quality concepts, Food Authenticity, various aspects of Natural Product Chemistry, and at the valorisation of Agrifood Renewable Sources for added value products. The postgraduate programme promotes expertise on quality control and various natural product applications as well as on high technology up-to-date laboratory instrumentation of analytical and preparative scope. The attainment of the M.Sc. degree qualifies them to successfully continue their doctorate studies and/or pursue an expert’s career in both the public and private sector.

Bachelor of Chemistry students are taught the principle fields of contemporary chemistry: molecular chemistry, solids and materials chemistry

The courses aim to provide theoretical, methodological, and technical knowledge of organic and analytical chemistry, allowing students to approach the research and development of projects in conditions favourable to the development of imagination, autonomy, and acute senses and convenience.

The Ecole nationale supérieure de Chimie de Paris – PSL has been training general chemical engineers for 120 years, with a great sense of innovation and highly appreciated by companies and international academic research structures. The school provides excellent, original and comprehensive training, covering the entire spectrum of chemistry. During his studies, the future engineer at the École nationale supérieure de Chimie de Paris - PSL will acquire solid scientific and technical knowledge, both through contact with the academic world and industry. He learns to mobilize knowledge in a transversal manner when faced with complex problems.
