Block 1

Depending on your educational background or depending on the focus, it is possible that the prerequisites / corequisites for the 1st year of the programme are presented in the block 2. You are therefore invited to read through the list of courses in block 2 even if you are registering for the first time in this master.
Within the framework of their Master in Chemical and Materials Science Engineering, all students must follow or validate the 90 credits of joint training and the 30 credits of the professional focus.
Ideally, students studying for the master¿s degree will have acquired the competences and knowledge corresponding to the 40 credits of technical courses specific to the field of 'Chemical and Materials Science', taught within the framework of the Bachelor in Civil Engineering.
