Learning goals
The Integrative Chemistry & Innovation master's degree is entirely taught in English. It is a transdisciplinary track exploring advanced topics in chemistry, through a la carte choice of transdisciplinary teaching units based on the up-to-date research developed at PSL university. It is articulated along three major goals:
- a broad training in fundamental chemistry with transdisciplinary courses exploring multiple fields in chemistry in an unprecedented integrative manner
- a training for and by research through research-oriented classes and a long research internship
- an awareness in current challenges and opportunities, with the possibility to follow dedicated courses in scientific and technological innovation
Opportunities
This program leads to a large number of opportunities, including but not limited to:
• Academic research (PhD, postdocs)
• Private sector research, development and production
• Innovation and entrepreneurship
• Scientific patenting
• Consulting
