Master Chimie — CHIMIE DURABLE-MATÉRIAUX (CDMAT)

Tuition comes to 292 USD per year.

The Master Chimie program at Universite de Picardie Jules-Verne, in Amiens Cedex 1, France, offers a track in Chimie durable-materiaux - sustainable chemistry and materials. This specialization combines the general study of chemistry, including physical and inorganic chemistry and laboratory synthesis methods, with materials science, which examines how the structure of a substance determines its physical and chemical properties. Students in this area typically study polymer chemistry, solid-state and materials chemistry, and characterization techniques used to analyze the composition and structure of materials. The sustainability component of the track focuses on developing and processing materials with reduced environmental impact, such as biobased polymers, recyclable materials, or manufacturing methods that use fewer hazardous substances and less energy. Coursework often addresses the life cycle of materials, from raw material selection through processing to end-of-life considerations such as recyclability. Graduates of this discipline typically work in materials research and development, quality control, or process engineering roles within industries such as plastics and polymers, packaging, construction materials, and other manufacturing sectors that are adapting their materials to sustainability requirements. Some continue toward doctoral research in materials chemistry. This is a master's-level program lasting two years, delivered in French, beginning in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR.
