Presentation
This master's program offers a " Minerve Excellence pathway ". This is a selective "Graduate Program ofExcellence", GPEx, which is part of the "MINERVE", the FRANCE 2030 project "Excellence in all its forms" obtained by the University of Orléans. Based on the classic disciplinary Master's course(s), and anchored in the research community of universities and research organizations, this program offers training reinvented BY and FOR Research, with a focus on multidisciplinarity and digital technology, leading to a career as a research engineer or researcher through a doctorate.
Students selected for the Minerve GPEx Excellence pathway will benefit from :
- personalized modularity of teaching: 80% of courses from the chosen disciplinary Master's program, 20% of high-level complementary units offered "à la carte", to be chosen from other Master's programs, and 20% of additional trans- or inter-disciplinary units;
- access to innovative educational, technical and digital tools ;
-continuous immersion in a research laboratory/department during the Master's program;
- personalized support, developed as part of this project;
- a collaborative project mode ;
- an M1 excellence scholarship;
- funding to complete the M2 apprenticeship in a research laboratory.
In addition to the disciplinary Master's degree, this course will lead to the award of an additional DU "Diplôme Universitaire Minerve" (Minerva University Diploma ).
The Master's degree in Chemistry comprises four courses:
- Analytical Chemistry and Quality Assurance (C2AQ)
- Bioactives and Cosmetics (BC)
- Organic Chemistry and Therapeutics (COT)
- Sustainable Development and Energy Transition (D2TE)
The BC, C2AQ, COT and D2TE-option Materials courses are open to Master 2 students on an apprenticeship basis.
The Master's degree in Chemistry trains managers with specialized skills in analytical chemistry and quality (C2AQ), natural ingredients and their use in cosmetics (BC), organic synthesis (COT), chemical risk management, pollution control and materials (D2TE).
Skills
The GPEx pathway is an à la carte pathway. It is based on one of the 4 Chemistry Master's courses (BC, C2AQ, COT or D2TE), but offers 20% differentiated teaching and specific training in research through laboratory projects. The 2nd year is an apprenticeship in a research laboratory.
