Master Chimie — Matériaux plastiques et écoconception

For Master Chimie — Matériaux plastiques et écoconception, tuition comes to 292 USD per year.

Université Bourgogne Europe, in Dijon, France, offers this master's track in Chimie titled Matériaux plastiques et écoconception, meaning plastic materials and ecodesign. Chemistry applied to plastics and polymers studies how these materials are formulated, processed, and used, along with their chemical structure and how it determines properties such as flexibility, strength, and resistance to heat or chemicals. An ecodesign component adds an environmental dimension, examining how products made from plastic materials can be designed to reduce environmental impact across their life cycle, including material selection, manufacturing processes, recyclability, and end-of-life disposal or reuse. Students in this field typically study polymer chemistry, plastics processing techniques, environmental regulations affecting materials and packaging, and design principles aimed at reducing waste and improving recyclability. The discipline sits at the intersection of materials chemistry and environmental responsibility, requiring both a technical understanding of how plastics behave and an awareness of the regulatory and market pressures pushing industries toward more sustainable material choices. Given ongoing attention to plastic waste and recycling across manufacturing sectors, this combination of chemistry and ecodesign training applies to companies developing packaging, consumer goods, or industrial components that use plastic materials. Graduates commonly pursue careers as materials engineers, product development specialists focused on sustainable materials, quality or compliance officers in the plastics industry, or research and development roles working on more environmentally responsible formulations. This track suits students interested in the environmental side of materials chemistry. The program is a two-year master's degree, taught in French, with an inferred September start date and yearly tuition of 250 EUR.
