Master Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics (PCCP) at Université de Bordeaux

International master (Graduate Program LIGHT S&T) focused on fundamental physical chemistry then specialised topics so graduates can work in academic and industrial fields, including environmental sensors, nanotechnologies, photonics, organic electronics and molecular-to-macroscopic modelling. Double diploma option with the Colorado School of Mines (USA).

Faculty: Collège Sciences & Technologies  |  Duration: 2 years (Master 1 and 2)  |  Intake: September  |  Study mode: full-time; English  |  Location: Talence, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

What you will study

Year 1 (all lectures in English) covers thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, spectroscopy and numerical tools, e.g. Theory of chemical bond, Quantum chemistry and Molecular simulation, statistical thermodynamics, solid-state physics, plus a research project with a 2-month full-time then half-time internship (12 ECTS). Year 2 is mostly specialisation (advanced spectroscopy and imaging, photonics, computational chemistry), e.g. Photonics, lasers and imaging, Kinetics and thermostatistics, Hybrid and nano-materials, Large scale facilities, ending with a 5-month international internship master thesis (30 ECTS).
