Master in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry of Molecules for the Living

Description and Objectives:

Provide training that considers the multiple implications of organic and analytical chemistry at the frontiers of the fields of health, materials, and analysis.

The courses aim to provide theoretical, methodological, and technical knowledge of organic and analytical chemistry, allowing students to approach the research and development of projects in conditions favourable to the development of imagination, autonomy, and acute senses and convenience.

Terms of Access:

Access to the 1st year master:

Hold a license or a license degree.

Recommended licenses:

• Chemistry degree

• License Physics-Chemistry

  Access to the 2nd year master:

  Access by the right for students having validated the first year of the training.

  Essentially, master’s graduates continue their studies by preparing for a doctorate in France and abroad in the fields of fundamental or applied chemistry.

  Students can thus complete a doctoral thesis in the academic or industrial field while benefiting from various funding (regional or ministerial grants, industrial scholarship, etc.). At the end of the doctoral thesis, students find work in the academic (university, CNRS, CEA, or INSERM, for example) and industrial sectors (fine chemicals, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agrochemical, or petrochemical industries) as well as in organizations involved in environmental and energy issues.

  Graduates who do not pursue their studies in the thesis find professional opportunities in these same industrial sectors, particularly in development services.

  The establishments offering this training are partners and associated with European (ERASMUS with the University of Southampton) and extra-European programs (in particular with Japanese universities in Osaka and Tohoku), which offers opportunities for exchanges ( for teaching and internships that can be carried out in these partner universities).

  This presents an essential advantage for the professional integration of young graduates.

  Career opportunities:

  Executive in the chemical industry

  Research and Development Officer

  Project Manager

  Application engineer

  Sales Engineer

  Researcher or teacher-researcher after obtaining a doctorate

With over 30,000 students and 40 research units, the University of Rouen Normandy (URN) plays a leading role in Normandy's teaching and research. We are involved in regional teaching and research clusters and promote interregional research activities by developing nationally and internationally renowned scientific partnerships. We, therefore, partake in numerous international projects in partnership with over 40 countries.

As a multidisciplinary institution, the University of Rouen Normandy is particularly devoted to making higher education accessible to all and fostering local economic and social development.

We have seven campuses in Normandy with a total of 12 faculties, institutes, and schools.

One of the University of Rouen Normandy's key strategic choices has been to give our teaching and research activities an international reach. That is why our International Relations and Cooperation Office has begun drawing up and rolling out an internationalization plan.

Research, which fosters knowledge, is one of the two main activities of the University of Rouen Normandy. It goes hand-in-hand with teaching throughout students' degree courses and contributes to higher education and research institutions' prestige. Our partnership with the University Hospital Charles-Nicolle and our commitment to the Charles-Nicolle Foundation, which enables hospitals in Normandy to benefit from innovative healthcare research equipment, is a perfect example.
