Master Physique fondamentale et applications – Matière Complexe (M2) at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1

Programme overview

Complex matter is at the heart of many industrial sectors such as food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, flexible electronics and robotics, high-performance materials for construction and transport (land, sea, air, space), and more generally materials for sustainable development, energy and health. Complex matter is also found in many natural geophysical phenomena or in biological phenomena.
