Presentation

Chemistry: L1 in the PCSI Portal (Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Sciences)

The bachelor's degree in Chemistry is an initial generalist course, organized into different tracks, with specialization starting in L3. The aim of the Bachelor's degree in Chemistry is to offer a generalist training program, enabling students to acquire fundamental theoretical and experimental knowledge in Chemistry: general, inorganic, organic, macromolecular, spectroscopic and analytical, with progressive specialization in L3 towards the fields of life chemistry or materials chemistry. The Chemical Sciences of the Living World (L3 SCV) course is more oriented towards organic chemistry, with an opening towards biomolecular chemistry and the corresponding masters degrees. This multi-disciplinary course takes students into the biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fragrances and flavors sector. The Chemical Sciences of Matter course (L3 SCM) is a solid generalist course in inorganic chemistry, solid state chemistry and general and macromolecular chemistry. This pathway takes students into the materials and polymers sectors, with applications in nanoscience, coatings, energy and sustainable development.

Two other more specific courses are attached to the chemistry degree: 

The L3 pre-prep DNO course is part of the chemistry bachelor's degree and is designed for students who want to acquire the "L3 es sciences" required to enter oenology schools.

The Pre-PAC Perfumes, Fragrances and Cosmetics course (L2 PréPAC) is only accessible under certain conditions (limited number of places). This course enables students to enter the PAC "Perfumes, Flavors and Cosmetics" professional license in L3.

Objectives

The Bachelor's degree in Chemistry therefore has multiple objectives:

✓ To provide students with the knowledge, skills and know-how required for further study in all Chemistry Master's courses, as well as in Biology-Health Master's courses and DNO preparatory courses.

✓ Enable students to pursue their studies by entering an engineering school (on the basis of a diploma).

✓Permit certain students to continue in a short professionalizing course: Licence Pro integration.

✓Permit direct professional integration after L3: administrative and technical competitive exams.

Know-how and skills

The main aim of the Bachelor's degree in Chemistry is to provide students with a sound basic scientific training in the field of chemistry, so that they have sufficient knowledge to continue their studies at Master's level or to enter working life and be able to adapt to changes in the chemical professions.

General scientific skills:

- Master basic laboratory experimentation techniques.

-Be able to devise an experimental strategy to solve a chemical problem.

- Know how to use and adapt analysis and data processing tools in the various fields of chemistry.

-be able to appropriate the tools for studying chemistry, including modeling and statistical tools.

-know how to read and criticize scientific texts in English -know how to search for, gather and verify information (bibliographical research related to a scientific theme)


Cross-disciplinary skills:

- Be able to organize your work around an experimental protocol.

-ability to adopt a multidisciplinary approach (interface with biology, physics, etc.)

-proficiency in written and oral presentations and reports (tutored projects and practical work)

-work in pairs or teams (tutored projects and practical work)

-understanding of written and spoken English.

-basic computer skills.
