Master Chimie — Chimie physique et matériaux

Tuition comes to 292 USD per year.

Physical chemistry and materials science form the focus of this track, Chimie physique et matériaux, within the Master Chimie program. This branch of chemistry studies the physical principles that govern chemical systems, including thermodynamics, kinetics, and the structure of matter, and applies these principles to understanding and designing materials. Students in this field typically study quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, and the physical properties of solids and liquids, together with subjects focused on materials such as polymers, nanomaterials, or functional materials used in industrial applications. Coursework often includes laboratory work involving the characterization of materials using physical and chemical techniques, as well as the study of how the structure of a material at the molecular or atomic level determines its macroscopic properties. Programs of this kind also address how new materials are designed, tested, and adapted for specific technological uses. Graduates who specialize in physical chemistry and materials commonly work in research and development roles within the chemical, materials, energy, and electronics industries, as well as in academic and public research laboratories. Typical positions include materials scientist, research chemist, or process engineer involved in developing or characterizing new materials. This master's program is delivered by Université de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France, over a duration of two years, with instruction given in French. The annual tuition is EUR 250, and the program begins in September. It is suited to students with a strong interest in the physical principles underlying chemistry and their application to the design of materials.
