M2 Chimie organique

Preparing for a career as a researcher in fields requiring expertise in organic chemistry

1. Gather and analyze information on a scientific issue by efficiently using research tools and databases, particularly bibliographic resources.
2. Develop a strategy to isolate, identify, design, and analyze new molecules or new synthetic routes to molecules of interest.
3. Apply a scientific approach in organic chemistry by establishing a work plan and organizing time effectively to achieve set objectives.
4. Work in compliance with hygiene and safety regulations, with knowledge of standards and best laboratory practices.
5. Communicate information and results to different audiences, being able to describe a protocol clearly and present results in a structured manner.

The Organic Chemistry track trains students in both fundamental and applied research. It offers numerous advantages that provide an exceptional immersion into the contemporary world of Organic Chemistry research:

• Geographical proximity to the teaching team and host laboratories,
• Dynamism and excellence of the research conducted in affiliated laboratories and companies.

This environment allows each student to gain the necessary experience and perspective on the research profession, helping them to consolidate their career project and confirm their choice of a first professional research experience through a doctoral thesis.

Beyond acquiring high-level theoretical knowledge and experimental skills, this program enables each student to develop autonomy and critical thinking (through bibliographic and analytical projects linked to the internship) and to learn how to manage a project within a collaborative framework (through collective work on publications in English and participation in shared Teaching Units with other M2 tracks).

Acquiring this comprehensive set of skills represents a significant asset, placing students in the Paris-Saclay M2R in Organic Chemistry in an excellent position when applying for doctoral thesis funding.
