L3 - Chemical Life Sciences (SCV)

  • Training structure

    Faculty of Science

Presentation

This SCV course is aimed at students wishing to acquire a solid training in life chemistry. This training allows students to pursue studies towards research or professional masters in the fields of biomolecules and health and those of aromas, perfumes and cosmetics, and chemical engineering schools.

Open course in Health Access (L.AS).

Objectives

The main objective is to give students a solid basic scientific training in the fields of chemistry so that they have sufficient knowledge to continue their studies in Master's degree or to integrate the active life and to be able to adapt to the evolution of the professions in chemistry.

The SCV course of the L3 Chemistry proposes a general training allowing the acquisition of fundamental knowledge in chemistry in semester 5 with a progressive specialization in semester 6 towards the fields of the chemistry of the living. It allows the acquisition of good theoretical and experimental knowledge in Chemistry: general, inorganic, organic, macromolecular, spectroscopies, analytical.

Know-how and skills

Through numerous theoretical and practical courses in Chemistry, but also thanks to the interface between chemistry and biology (3 TUs in S6) with the teaching units in analysis and identification applied to the field (4 TUs), the Chemical Sciences of the Living World course also provides an initiation to research through the practice of English (1 TU) and tutored projects (1 TU).

General scientific skills: - Master basic laboratory experimentation techniques. -Be able to develop an experimental strategy to answer a chemical problem. -To be able to use and adapt the tools of analysis and data processing in the different fields of chemistry. -be able to appropriate the tools of study in chemistry, including modeling and statistical tools. -be able to read and criticize scientific texts in English -be able to search for and gather information and verify it (bibliographic research in relation to a scientific theme)


Transversal skills: - Be able to organize one's work based on an experimental protocol. -To be able to adopt a multidisciplinary approach (interface with biology, physics, etc.) -To master written and oral presentations and reports (tutorials and practical work) -To work in pairs or in teams (tutorials and practical work) -To understand written and oral English. -mastery of basic computer tools.

Organization

Program

S5 is strongly multidisciplinary within the chemistry degree; S6 is specific to the SCV course and presents two profiles according to the subsequent orientation that the students wish to follow.

The profile Biomolecules with polyfunctional natural compounds and structural chemistry and biochemistry.

The cosmetic profile of flavors and fragrances with a dedicated UE and a Ue of Chemical Engineering.

Admission

Conditions of access

Target audience*:

  • Students coming from the L2 Chemistry of the Faculty of Sciences but also from other faculties interested in the proposed profiles and the pursuit of studies in masters.
  • Students with a DUT who have a very favourable opinion of continuing their studies can also be recruited via the e-candidat platform.
  • Students with a Bachelor's degree wishing to resume a general course of study for a Master's degree (e-candidat platform)
  • future technological bachelor students (BUT) whose applications will also be examined by the pedagogical team for possible recruitment.

Professional integration

In the chemical industry (drugs, flavors and fragrances, food processing, cosmetics, environment, quality control, processes, hygiene and safety, etc.) -technician or assistant chemical engineer (analysis, production, control, manufacturing, maintenance) - technician or assistant engineer - aromatician, formulator - sales technician

 

The best students of the SCV course can integrate a chemical engineering school, but also a chemistry-biology interface school (ENSCM, ENSCL, ENSCBP... etc...).
