Master Chimie — Chimie verte

For Master Chimie — Chimie verte, tuition is 292 USD per year.

Green chemistry is the subject of this track, Chimie verte, within the Master Chimie program, a branch of chemistry concerned with designing chemical processes and products that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. This field studies how chemical reactions, solvents, and raw materials can be chosen or redesigned to minimize environmental impact while maintaining product performance. Students typically study organic and physical chemistry as a foundation, alongside subjects specific to this track such as sustainable synthesis methods, the use of renewable feedstocks, catalysis that reduces waste and energy consumption, and the assessment of the environmental footprint of chemical processes. Coursework often includes laboratory work exploring alternative solvents and reaction conditions, as well as case studies of how industries have redesigned processes to be more sustainable. Attention is also given to regulatory and economic considerations that shape how green chemistry principles are adopted in industrial practice. Graduates who specialize in green chemistry commonly find roles in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials industries, working on process development, sustainability initiatives, or research into cleaner chemical technologies. Some continue toward research careers focused on sustainable chemistry, while others move into industrial roles responsible for improving the environmental performance of existing chemical processes. This master's program is offered by Université de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France, over two years of study, with instruction given in French. The yearly tuition is EUR 250, and the program starts in September. It suits students who want to combine chemical training with an interest in environmental sustainability.
