Chemistry Program

The Chemistry and Interfaces program is designed for students interested in organic, organometallic, supramolecular, solid-state, or inorganic chemistry. This program builds bridges towards other scientific fields such as biology, environmental sciences, material sciences, or renewable energies.

The first year in Chemistry and Interfaces provides a solid foundation in molecular and materials design. The teaching is supported by the IP Paris research laboratories, all renowned for their cutting-edge expertise in chemistry, including molecular chemistry, theoretical and physical chemistry, and material sciences.

The second year allows specialization in two key areas, in connection with standard courses on computational chemistry (digital chemistry, modelling): 

• Molecular chemistry, focusing on the molecular design and analysis related to the environment or health (medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, photopharmacology);
• Material chemistry, focusing on the design of materials for energy, transport, electronics and optoelectronics, medicine or nanotechnologies.

Master's students will be able to pursue a PhD or a career in a company, academia, or teaching in secondary or higher education. For students who wish to pursue a PhD after their master’s degree, the program is affiliated with two distinct PhD track programs: Advanced Materials, or Chemistry and Interfaces, for early research immersion.

Objectives

This Master’s program aims to enable students to:

• Benefit from high-level experimental and theoretical scientific training based on a wide range of current research topics in chemistry
• Immerse themselves in a research laboratory environment to gain experience with new experimental techniques through a hands-on learning approach
• Develop their knowledge and understanding of chemistry through direct contact with researchers and current scientific questions
