The Department of Chemistry is one of the 8 Departments of the Faculty of Science.
With 1000 students in initial training, 150 teacher-researchers, 50 CNRS researchers and 100 AMU and CNRS technical and administrative staff, the department is associated with a significant research potential in interaction with the Ecole Centrale Marseille.
11 Joint Research Units are associated with the Department of Chemistry and cover the fields of excellence in chemistry research that ensure the international reputation of our University. These fields are mainly: Radical Chemistry & Paramagnetic Species, Analysis & Control of Chirality, Functional Materials, Bio-inspired Chemistry & Chemistry of the Living. These major themes encompass other topics such as spectroscopies and separative methods, process engineering, environmental chemistry and even astrochemistry.
The Department of Chemistry collaborates within the framework of an agreement with the CRITT Novachim, which acts as an interface between public research and more than 180 private companies in the chemical and materials sector.

Doctorates
The research teams hosting doctoral students depend on two doctoral schools within AMU.
The Doctoral School of Chemical Sciences (ED 250)
This doctoral school is in charge of organizing training courses, allocating doctoral contracts and preparing the professional integration and follow-up of PhDs.
It brings together a group of research units and teams in Marseille that have a recognized scientific activity in various fields: organic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry and theoretical chemistry.The "Physics and Material Sciences" Doctoral School (ED 352)
This doctoral school brings together doctoral students from the University of Aix-Marseille working on fundamental and applied research topics, including the physical chemistry of materials.

Continuing Education
The Department of Chemistry is associated with an important research potential made up of four research laboratories contracted with the CNRS: the Institute of Radical Chemistry (ICR), the Institute of Molecular Sciences of Marseille (ISM2), the Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry (LCE) and the laboratory "Divided Materials, Interfaces, Reactivity, Electrochemistry" (MADIREL).
Other laboratories, mainly affiliated to other departments, also host teams of chemists.
The department of chemistry has as a privileged partner the Federation of Research in Chemical Sciences (FR1739), which federates more widely the chemistry laboratories of the Marseille area.
Moreover, the Chemistry Department is in close contact with the Ecole Doctorale des Sciences Chimiques de Marseille (ED-250) as well as the Ecole Doctorale Physique et Science de la Matière (ED-352) which are in charge of organizing training courses, allocating doctoral contracts, preparing the professional insertion and follow-up of the PhDs who are present in the different laboratories of the Department.
