GOAL OF THE MASTER

The first year of Master of Chemistry and Materials Science aims at providing fundamental knowledge in:

  • Elaboration of polymers, ceramics, metals, glasses and composite materials
  • Characterization of materials by selecting the appropriate methods

Supporting students in understanding and predicting the relationships between chemical structure and properties according to the elaboration process.

Accompanying the students during the development of their professional project by providing the knowledge, the tools and methodology to successfully complete the internship.

ACQUIRED SKILLS

The M1 course gives a solid scientific education in materials science and enables further studies in the M2 courses of Chemistry and Materials Science Master of University Claude Bernard Lyon 1:

  • Elaboration and characterization of organic (natural and synthetic origin), inorganic (glasses, cement, ceramics, metals) and composites materials
  • Professional written and oral scientific communication
  • Professional communication in English
