L2 - Chemistry (Pre-PAC)
The L2 préPAC is a program offered during the second year of the Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier. This program, which serves as preparation for the Professional Bachelor’s degree in Fragrances, Flavors, and Cosmetics (LproPAC), is strongly recommended for students wishing to enroll in the LproPAC program.
This program (500 hours of training, a minimum of 8 weeks of internship) consists of a core component and a component specific to each track: fragrances and flavors, and cosmetics.
The courses are taught by a dynamic faculty team composed of faculty members from the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Montpellier, as well as faculty members from the Faculty of Pharmacy and various external industry experts.
The number of available spots in the L2 préPAC program is limited to 20 students.
