Description
A 2- to 4-month internship must be completed in a research laboratory or a company specializing in extractive or separative chemistry, recycling chemistry, radiochemistry, materials chemistry, or process chemistry. Students will therefore have the opportunity to complete this end-of-study internship in academic research laboratories or industrial establishments. Subject to prior approval by the teaching team (internship topic related to the master's program and adequate environment/resources), students may seek a host team in an academic setting at the institutes of the Chemistry Department of the University of Montpellier, in academic laboratories outside the University of Montpellier (in France or abroad), or in the private sector (in France or abroad).
This internship, lasting between two and four months, will begin in early May and will be preceded by the submission of a bibliographic report related to the internship topic and an oral defense before a jury.
Objectives
This teaching unit aims to enable students to work in immersion in a research laboratory or industrial environment in order to complete their training and gain autonomy. It also aims to help them acquire a better understanding of their career plans. This teaching unit should therefore contribute to better integration into the professional world.
Knowledge assessment
Writing a report and giving an oral presentation.
Syllabus
The aim of the internship is to provide students with initial experience (2 to 4 months) in a professional environment (research laboratory, company) in order to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the first year of the master's degree. This immersive experience will enable students to understand the challenges of academic or applied research, how to conduct a scientific project as part of a team, and how to put both experimental and theoretical knowledge into practice.
