M1 Chemistry - International Track - ERASMUS Mundus Paris-Saclay University

Overview

The M1 Chemistry - International Track - ERASMUS Mundus program at Paris-Saclay University aims at training students in the most performing experimental and theoretical tools used and developed in chemistry, physical chemistry and Material Science, so that they become the future generation of experts in the sectors of renewable energies, green chemistry and catalysis, nanomedicine and novel therapies, branches of employment that answer major societal needs. Elements of management, business, communication and patent law are also provided during a 2 weeks summer school in Italy.

Students enrolled in the two-year programme will attend lectures in at least two different participating institutions. In order to open the programme to the largest international community, all the teaching is given in English. The mobility experience and the multi-disciplinary training lead to a high adaptability of the students to different scientific communities (chemistry, material science, biophysics..), from different countries (France, Italy, Portugal, Poland) and different sectors (academic, private). The attendees are ready to enter the international job market and to expand the European technologies and know-how.

Learning outcomes

• Communicate information and results to different audiences through the ability to describe a protocol and structure results.

• Choose and implement the methods of separation and characterisation of compounds whilst understanding the theoretical principles of measurement and being able to interpret the results.Predict physical and chemical properties or the reactivity of molecules and/or materials by combining all disciplinary knowledge.

• Identify and implement the methods and techniques for the development and/or production of molecules or materials while adhering to good laboratory practices

• Understand the properties of chemical phenomena related to the spatial organisation of matter and their temporal aspects.

• Predict physical and chemical properties or the reactivity of molecules and/or materials by combining all disciplinary knowledge.

• Be autonomous in establishing and carrying out a theoretical or experimental scientific process in chemistry, organising working time to achieve set goals.
