Introduction

The Fragrance to Fine Chemistry track is a specialization providing students with comprehensive theoretical and practical expertise in the field of Reactivity and Synthesis Strategies of Organic Chemistry.
The specialization emphasizes the design, synthesis and characterization of relevant molecules in Aroma and Fragrance Chemistry.
 

Semester 1 provides students with a deep understanding of synthesis and analysis as well as the applications of aromatic and medicinal natural substances in the field chemistry.

Semester 2 is composed of a 6-month internship in an academic or industrial laboratory (UE PPR) to gain hands-on experience and connect with valuable industry professionals.
 

By the end of the program, students will:

  • Conduct research projects
  • Share expertise and competencies
  • Stay up to date through bibliographic research and active participation in professional meetings
  • Design and develop new products or processes while optimizing existing ones in the fields of aromatic and medicinal substance chemistry
  • Carry out technological monitoring, disseminating and promoting their findings through reports, publications, presentations, communications and so forth
