Second master’s year (M2)

• FESup - Higher Education Teaching

The Master of Higher Education Teaching (Formation à l'Enseignement Supérieur or FESup) prepares students for the french competitive agrégation exam in physics and chemistry, chemistry option.

• Molecular Engineering and Interfaces (MOCHI)

This master’s programme provides high-level molecular chemistry delivered in English. It is dedicated to the organic synthesis and organometallic with its interfaces in supramolecular chemistry, in biology and in optoelectronic. It allows to develop skills in synthesis usable at the level of the basic research but also for applications in pharmaceutical  industry, opto-electronic …).

Research

Research topics range from organic chemistry (synthesis of therapeutic molecules) and nanoscience applied to biology (fluorescence imaging) to the development and study of innovative photoactive materials (information storage).
