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.
