Master Chimie — CHIMIE DURABLE ORGANIQUE (CDORG)

The tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

The Master Chimie program at Universite de Picardie Jules-Verne, in Amiens Cedex 1, France, includes a track in Chimie durable organique - sustainable organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with carbon-based compounds and the reactions used to build and transform them, and it forms a core part of most chemistry curricula alongside physical and analytical chemistry. Students in this discipline study reaction mechanisms, synthesis techniques, and the characterization of organic molecules using laboratory and spectroscopic methods. The sustainable chemistry emphasis in this track adds attention to greener approaches to organic synthesis, such as reducing hazardous solvents and reagents, improving the efficiency of chemical reactions, and using renewable starting materials where possible. Students typically study green chemistry principles, catalysis, and process design aimed at lowering the environmental impact of chemical manufacturing, in addition to the standard tools of organic synthesis. This combination of organic chemistry and sustainability prepares graduates for roles in chemical research and development, particularly in industries seeking to reduce the environmental footprint of their production processes, including pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and materials manufacturing. Career paths include research chemist, process development chemist, and further doctoral study in organic or sustainable chemistry. The program is a master's degree lasting two years, taught in French, with a start date in September and a yearly tuition of 250 EUR.
