Presentation
Chemistry major: L1 in the PCSI (Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Sciences) Portal
The Bachelor's degree in Chemistry is a generalist program, organized into different tracks, with specialization beginning in the third year. The objectives of the Bachelor's degree in Chemistry are to offer a generalist program, enabling students to acquire fundamental theoretical and experimental knowledge in Chemistry: general, inorganic, organic, macromolecular, spectroscopy, and analytical, with a progressive specialization in the third year in the fields of biological chemistry or materials chemistry. The Life Sciences Chemistry track (third year SCV) is a program more focused on organic chemistry with an introduction to biomolecular chemistry and the corresponding master's degrees. This multidisciplinary track guides students toward the biomolecule, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, perfume, and flavor industries. The Chemical Sciences of Matter program (L3 SCM) is a solid generalist program in inorganic chemistry, solid state chemistry, and general and macromolecular chemistry. This program guides students toward the materials and polymers sectors with applications in nanoscience, coatings, energy, and sustainable development.
Two other more specific courses are linked to the chemistry degree:
The L3 preparatory course for DNO is a chemistry bachelor's degree program designed for students who want to obtain the "L3 es sciences" qualification required to enter wine schools.
The Pre-PAC Perfumes, Flavors, and Cosmetics program (L2 PréPAC) is only available under certain conditions (limited number of places). This program allows students to enter the PAC "Perfumes, Flavors, and Cosmetics" professional bachelor's degree program in L3.
The advantages of the training program
- Over 30% ofteaching is practical, with access to state-of-the-art equipment in the technology hall.
- Math/physics/chemistry/biology instruction tailored to students' profiles.
- An introduction to research withsupervised projects in the third year of the bachelor's degree program.
- International mobility possible from the second year onwards.
- Entry into working life possible after three years of higher education or continuation into a master's degree program
-Network of employers at the regional and national levels.
Objectives
The objectives of the chemistry degree are therefore multiple:
✓ Provide students with the knowledge, skills, and expertise necessary to pursue studies in any Master's program in chemistry, as well as in Master's programs in biology and health, and in preparatory courses for the DNO (National Doctorate Examination).
✓ Enable students to continue their studies by enrolling in an engineering school (based on their qualifications).
✓Enable certain students to pursue a short vocational course: integration into a professional bachelor's degree program.
✓Enable direct entry into the workforce upon completion of the third year of undergraduate studies: civil service exams, technical positions.
Know-how and skills
The main objective of the Chemistry degree is to provide students with a solid scientific foundation in the field of chemistry, equipping them with sufficient knowledge to pursue a Master's degree or enter the workforce and adapt to changes in the chemistry industry.

This module is a basic module on the physical properties of materials and on techniques for dimensioning mechanically simple components or systems.
The properties of materials are examined using tensile testing, binary diagrams, and microstructure analysis.
Component dimensioning involves choosing the most suitable material and defining the geometry to ensure static and fatigue resistance. The dimensional analysis process also makes it possible to determine the characteristics of a more complex system based on experiments conducted on a scale model.

The "Color Measurement" course is an introductory course to colorimetry. It provides an understanding of how colors are perceived and classified in the various colorimetry systems currently in use. The course begins with a brief historical introduction tracing the most significant stages in the development of colorimetry, followed by a chapter providing some basic concepts of the "neurophysiology" of vision, describing how the eye and retina work. This is followed by a chapter on photometry introducing the quantities essential to colorimetry, in particular spectral luminance, and then a study of colorimetry systems such as RGB, XYZ, and L*a*b*. These first chapters focus on additive color synthesis, which enables colors to be produced on screens (computers, televisions, phones, etc.). The course continues with an introduction to spectrocolorimetry, which provides an understanding of the properties of color mixtures (subtractive synthesis) through its simplest models (Beer-Lambert, Kubelka-Munk, etc.). The course is illustrated by numerous exercises carried out in tutorials, which allow students to familiarize themselves with the various colorimetry systems and their advantages and disadvantages. It is also supported by practical work, which allows students to master color measurement devices (colorimeters, spectrocolorimeters) and the associated software. A significant part of the practical work is dedicated to comparing color observations and measurements.

The first part of this course presents the basics of quantum chemistry for chemists and physical chemists. It begins by reviewing the principles of quantum mechanics and its master equation, the Schrödinger equation. The solution of the Schrödinger equation in simple cases and the concepts of wave functions and quantization are presented and illustrated in simple cases. The hydrogen atom is then studied.
The course also examines approximation methods that can be used to determine the properties of complex systems where Schrödinger's equation cannot be solved directly. The effect of spin on the electronic properties of atoms and molecules will also be discussed.
The second part of this course focuses on the quantum description of molecular properties and reactivity. The qualitative construction of molecular orbitals using symmetry properties will be introduced, and the link between molecular orbital diagrams and chemical bonding will be explained. The link between molecular geometry and electronic structure will be discussed. This course will then focus on Hückel's method, which is used to obtain molecular orbital diagrams of π systems. The classic concepts of conjugation, delocalization, donor or acceptor character, and aromaticity will be studied in this approach. Frontier orbital theory is used to rationalize molecular reactivity (cycloadditions, electrocyclization) and molecular geometries.

Thermodynamics: micro and macroscopic aspects
Thermodynamics is the tool of choice for studying matter on a macroscopic scale. In particular, in the case of chemical reactions, it allows us to predict the direction of their evolution and their state of equilibrium. In the first years of the bachelor's degree, we focus on describing the principles of thermodynamics and their direct application to chemistry in the case of simple single-phase equilibrium reactions or reactions between homogeneous phases. This teaching unit will deepen this knowledge in two directions.
First, we will generalize this macroscopic thermodynamic description framework to more complex systems, such as interfacial systems where surface tension plays a role, or non-uniform phases where the composition is not the same everywhere due to an external field. We will also study ruptures and equilibrium displacements.
Next, we will look at the link with the microscopic world, where matter is described at the atomic scale. We will show that the evolution predicted by thermodynamics is statistical in nature, with the state of equilibrium corresponding to the most probable macroscopic state given the constraints applied to the system. This will allow us to deduce the macroscopic thermodynamic properties of a physicochemical system from its microscopic description.

Description of the EU (max. 10 lines):
The aim of this EU is to explain how to measure variation in biology and how it can be represented. It is based on concrete examples from various disciplines of biology (ecology, developmental biology, evolution, genetics, physiology) and provides the statistical tools to measure this variation and the graphical methods to represent it. The statistical concepts of sampling, inference, distribution, central tendency, dispersion, distribution function, parameters, confidence interval, and dependence between variables for different types of variables (binomial, discrete, continuous) are explained using tutorials based on biological problems.
Skills targeted by the EU (see skills reference framework):
- Descriptive analytical tools in biology, introduction to biostatistics through the analysis of biological patterns
