The master’s programme includes :
- core courses (25 credits);
- a professional focus (30 credits);
- one major;
- elective courses to round out the programme.
Most courses are taught in English (all courses with LMAPR2xxx designation and the majority of courses managed by EPL), with certain facilities and assistance provided to French-speaking students (a « French-friendly » approach).
Student must choose at least one major among the two proposed in chemistry and materials.
Additionally, they may select an option from the two options available in management and entrepreneurship.
Typically, specialised track courses are taken during the first annual block of the master's programme, and the final thesis is completed during the second annual block. However, students can choose to place their courses in either the first or second annual block, depending on their educational project, if course prerequisites are met. This flexibility is especially relevant for students undertaking part of their studies abroad (ERASMUS or MERCATOR exchanges, FAME dual degree).
If during their previous academic careers, students have already completed a course that appears in the mandatary or optional parts of the programme, or an activity deemed equivalent by the programme committee, they will replace it with elective activities while ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
Regardless of the choice of professional focus, major and elective courses, the programme must total a minimum of 120 credits, distributed over two annual blocks.
Students will verify that they have obtained the minimum number of credits required for the approval of the diploma as well as for the approval of the major, in order to include them in the diploma supplement.
Programmes that respect the above rules will be submitted for approval to the relevant master’s degree programme commission.
For a programme-type, and regardless of the focus, options/or elective courses selected, this master will carry a minimum of 120 credits divided over two annual units, corresponding to 60 credits each.
