Licence Chimie, Parcours : Génie Chimique, Génie des procédés

After a first year in one of the two scientific portals: Marie Curie or Louis Pasteur, the process engineering course of the chemistry degree allows students to specialise in the field of chemical engineering, process engineering by acquiring the fundamental, technological and practical knowledge necessary for the design, implementation and optimisation of industrial processes for the transformation of matter and energy, while at the same time making them aware of the environmental aspects and sustainable development The objective of the course is to

to introduce students to the specific methodologies and tools of process engineering,
to acquire the first approaches to unit operations and transformation of matter, transfer phenomena (matter, energy, fluid mechanics)
acquire a practical approach to the discipline (practical work, visits to industrial sites, etc.)

The training is completed by fundamental and practical chemistry lessons (chemical kinetics, thermochemistry, analytical chemistry).

The Chemistry degree, and in particular the Process Engineering pathway, is supported by nationally and internationally renowned research laboratories in which all the lecturer-researchers involved in our courses work: https://chimie-sciences.univ-amu.fr/recherche

The support provided by these laboratories takes the form of hosting students on research placements from the 1st year of the Bachelor's degree, particularly as part of the intensive course.

• Develop a complete scientific, theoretical and/or experimental investigation, starting from a correctly posed problem in chemistry
• Design and carry out a chemistry project independently, individually or collectively, promoting the discovery and understanding of chemical phases
• Develop a project that facilitates integration into a professional organisation or further study and an ethos that promotes empowerment
• Design, implement and optimise industrial processes for the transformation of materials and energy through the application of multidisciplinary, theoretical and experimental knowledge and know-how

Tutored projects are offered in the 2nd year as part of a programme of discovery of the scientific world (DEMOS). Work placements are included in the intensive course. Voluntary internships are possible as part of the "Deepening knowledge" bonus.

Some students who are unable to devote themselves full-time to their studies may apply for a CSR

Openings at the end of the degree:

• laboratory technician
• assistant engineer

If you go on to study for a master's degree (bac+5) and/or a doctorate (bac+8) you will be able to access managerial positions:

• design engineer
• expert
• research engineer
• researchers or teacher/researchers

The sectors the sectors of activity / fields concerned are: quality control • production  • measurements • energy •  agri-food • environment sustainable development 

By right for students of L2 chemistry.

For students from other bachelor's degrees, CPGEs, BUTs and BTSs, admission to L2 or L3 is possible on the basis of an application file after receiving the opinion of the academic committee.
