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.
Training benefits
- More than 30%hands-on teaching with access to state-of-the-art equipment in the technology hall.
- Maths/physics/chemistry/biology teaching adapted to students' profiles.
- An introduction to research through L3Tutored Projects.
-International mobility possible from L2.
- Entry into working life possible at bac + 3 or continuation to Master's level
-Regional and national network of employers.
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.

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)

- ECTS- 4 credits 
- Training structure- Faculty of Science 
- Time of year- Autumn 
The "Color Measurement" UE is an introduction to colorimetry. It provides an understanding of how colors are perceived and classified in the various colorimetric systems currently in use. The course begins with a brief historical introduction tracing the most significant stages in the construction of colorimetry, followed by a chapter giving some notions of the "neuro-physiology" of vision, describing how the eye and retina function. This is followed by a chapter on photometry, introducing the quantities essential to colorimetry, in particular spectral luminance, and then a study of colorimetric systems such as RGB, XYZ or L*a*b*. The emphasis in these first chapters is on additive color synthesis, which enables colors to be produced on screens (computer, TV, telephones, etc.). The course continues with an introduction to spectro-colorimetry, which enables us to understand the properties of color mixtures (subtractive synthesis) through its simplest models (Beer-Lambert, Kubelka-Munk, etc.). The course is illustrated by a number of hands-on exercises that familiarize students with the various colorimetric systems, their advantages and disadvantages. It is also supported by practical exercises that enable students to master color measurement devices (colorimeters, spectro-colorimeters) and associated software. A major part of the practical exercises is devoted to comparing color observations and measurements.

The first part of this course presents the basics of quantum chemistry for chemists and physical chemists. He began by taking up the principles of quantum mechanics and his master equation, the Schrödinger equation. The solution of the Schrödinger equation in simple cases and the notions of wave functions and quantization are presented and illustrated in simple cases. The hydrogen atom is then studied.
The teaching also focuses on approximation methods that make it possible to determine the properties of complex systems where the Schrödinger 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 diagram and chemical bonding is made. The link between molecular geometry and electronic structure will be discussed. This course will then focus on the Huckel method which allows to obtain diagrams of molecular orbitals of π systems. The classical notions of conjugation, delocalization, donor or acceptor character and aromaticity will be studied in this approach. The theory of boundary orbitals is used to rationalize molecular reactivity (cycloaddition, electrocyclization) and molecular geometries.

Thermodynamics - micro and macroscopic aspects
- ECTS- 4 credits 
- Training structure- Faculty of Science 
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 enables 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 extend this knowledge in two directions.
First, we'll generalize this macroscopic thermodynamic 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. Equilibrium breaks and displacements will also be studied.
Next, we'll look at the link with the microscopic world, where matter is described at the atomic scale. We'll show that the evolution predicted by thermodynamics is statistical in nature, with the equilibrium state corresponding to the most probable macroscopic state given the constraints applied to the system. This will enable us to deduce the macroscopic thermodynamic properties of a physico-chemical system from its microscopic description.

Description of variability 1
- ECTS- 2 credits 
- Training structure- Faculty of Science 
EU description (max 10 lines):
The aim of this course is to help students understand how to measure variation in biology, and how it can be represented. It is based on concrete examples drawn from various disciplines in biology (ecology, developmental biology, evolution, genetics, physiology) and gives the statistical tools for measuring this variation and the graphical methods for representing it. The statistical concepts of sampling, inference, distribution, central tendency, dispersion, distribution function, parameters, confidence intervals and dependence between variables for different types of variables (binomial, discrete, continuous) are explained with the help of practical exercises based on biological problems.
Competencies targeted by the EU (see competency framework):
- Descriptive analytical tools in biology, introduction to biostatistics through the analysis of biological patterns
