Internships and tutored projects:
Projects: Many hours are dedicated to independent project work. Due to the professional coloration and the involvement of more than 30% of industry professionals in the teaching team, many national and international industrial partnerships have been established and are sometimes agreed upon (Cevenessence, Arthur Dupuy® SAS, Traiteur GRAND). Close collaborations and agreements (framework agreements) between different structures of expertise such as art or culinary (Lycée hôtelier Georges Frêche, Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts Montpellier Contemporain ESBAMA) allow for the development of multidisciplinary application projects and to position students on cultural projects with restitution in front of an audience.
Internship: as part of the initial training is carried out in S6 between February and August.
The end-of-study projects are evaluated by a jury made up of teachers from the University as well as professionals from the world of Cosmetics § Dermopharmaceuticals.
Program
The LProPAC is composed of a common core (Perfumes and Cosmetics § Dermopharmaceutics) and a specific part for each course. All of the courses are taught in the fifth year of the program. The common courses reflect the multidisciplinary skills to be acquired, while the specific courses reflect the skills and experimental know-how specific to the fields concerned. The program is open to continuing education and work-study programs. The validation of the diploma allows to obtain 60 European credits (ECTs).
