The Chemistry degree at the Université d'Avignon provides students with a solid grounding in chemistry, as well as knowledge of English, physics and biology.
In the third year, to prepare students for their future career, the Chemistry degree offers a single pathway with a choice of two options (food science or chemistry).
This enables students to continue their studies at Masters level, in particular in Chemistry, and in Teaching, Education and Training (MEEF) for primary and secondary education.
The course emphasises the active involvement and autonomy of students through tutorials, extensive practical work (from the first semester) and a work placement at the end of the course.
Enrolment is limited (maximum of 120 places), with an average of 60 students in L1 and 30 in L3, providing excellent working conditions.

Students will be prepared to:

obtain the national bachelor's degree in Chemistry after validating their 180 ECTS credits,
take the IPA master's degree (food production engineering) offered by the University of Avignon,
follow the MACh Masters (analytical chemistry applied to the study and development of biomolecules) offered by the University of Avignon
take a Master's degree in Chemistry offered by a French or European university,
take a master's degree in teaching in preparation for competitive entrance exams: CAPES/CAFEP in physical sciences - Professorat des écoles,
Access to a large number of engineering schools specialising in chemistry, based on qualifications or competitive entrance exams.

Special features

The Chemistry degree has been offered at the University of Avignon since the start of the 2018 academic year. From the start of the 2024 academic year, we will be offering new content in line with the Competency-Based Approach, based on common items over the three years:
Theoretical knowledge
Practical knowledge
Know-how, communication and building a professional identity.

This degree offers a single pathway with general chemistry teaching (general chemistry, fine chemistry, process chemistry, analytical chemistry), and gives students the choice of specialising during the two years of the Master's degree.
In L3, all students follow the same courses and can choose between two options relating to the Masters offered at the Université d'Avignon: Master IPA and Master MACh.

A master's degree in engineering (CMI) is attached to our course and is accessible by application.


International

The chemistry degree encourages outgoing student mobility (for a semester or an academic year) via the UAPV's international partners.
A student remains registered at the UAPV while studying abroad. They pay their usual tuition fees at the UAPV and are exempt from paying tuition fees at the host university.
The results obtained abroad are validated by the jury of the Avignon chemistry degree.
