Objectives
The main aim is to provide students with a sound basic scientific training in the fields of chemistry, so that they have sufficient knowledge to continue their studies at Master's level or to enter working life, and to be able to adapt to changes in the chemical professions.
The SCV pathway in the L3 Chemistry offers a general training course providing fundamental knowledge of chemistry in semester 5, with progressive specialization in S6 towards the fields of life chemistry. It provides a sound theoretical and experimental grounding in general, inorganic, organic, macromolecular, spectroscopic and analytical chemistry.
Know-how and skills
Through a wide range of theoretical and practical courses in chemistry, but also thanks to a focus on the interface between chemistry and biology (3 TUs in S6) with teaching units in analysis and identification applied to the field (4 TUs), the Chemical Life Sciences pathway also provides an introduction to research through the practice of English (1 TU) and tutored projects (1 TU).
General scientific skills: - Master the basic techniques of laboratory experimentation. -be capable of devising an experimental strategy to solve a chemical problem. -be able to use and adapt analysis and data processing tools in the various fields of chemistry. -be able to appropriate chemical study tools, including modeling and statistical tools. -be able to read and criticize scientific texts in English -be able to search for, gather and verify information (bibliographical research related to a scientific theme).
Cross-disciplinary skills: - Ability to organize work based on an experimental protocol. -be able to adopt a multidisciplinary approach (interface with biology, physics, etc.) -master written and oral presentations and reports (tutorials and practical work) -work in pairs or teams (tutorials and practical work) -understand written and spoken English. -mastery of basic IT tools.
Organization
Program
S5 is highly multidisciplinary within the Chemistry degree; S6 is specific to the SCV pathway and presents two profiles depending on the subsequent direction students wish to take.
Biomolecules profile with polyfunctional natural compounds and structural chemistry and biochemistry.
The flavors and fragrances cosmetics profile with a dedicated UE and a Chemical Engineering Ue.
Thermodynamics - micro and macroscopic aspects

Admission
Access conditions
Target audience* :
- Students from the Faculty of Science's L2 Chemistry program, but also from other faculties interested in the profiles on offer and in pursuing a Masters degree.
- Students holding a DUT with a very favorable recommendation for further study can also be recruited via the e-candidat platform.
- Students with a Bachelor's degree wishing to return to general studies to pursue a Master's degree (e-candidat platform)
- future technological bachelor students (BUT), whose applications will also be examined by the teaching team for possible recruitment.
How to register

And then
Further studies
Research and Professional Masters in Biomolecular Chemistry and Cosmetic, Aroma and Perfume Engineering (ICAP) offered by the Chemistry Department of the University of Montpellier, as well as the Biology Agrosciences Master's degree and the Biology Health Master's degree offered by the BioMV Department.
Masters in Health Engineering, or masters from other universities.
Admission to Grandes Ecoles (engineering schools, etc.) on the basis of qualifications
Studying abroad
Possible
Bridges and reorientation
Towards Pro licenses.
Gateways to the pharmaceutical industry, Health Engineering masters, and masters in biology and agrosciences (IBioNTec pathway)
Professional integration
In the chemical industry (pharmaceuticals, flavors and fragrances, agri-food, cosmetics, environment, quality control, processes, health and safety, etc.) -technician or assistant chemical engineer (analysis, production, control, manufacturing, maintenance) - technician or assistant engineer - aromatician, formulator - sales representative
The best students in the SCV program can apply for admission to a chemical engineering school, or a chemistry-biology engineering school (ENSCM, ENSCL, ENSCBP, etc.).
