Master 2 — Functional Materials and Applications

Materials represent a vast field, and the uniqueness of this program lies in its focus on the structure–property relationship, which enables students to understand and implement materials according to their functionalities. This approach plays a key role today in the development of functionalized objects and the pursuit of recyclability of processes, materials, and their applications.

The curriculum is structured into four teaching modules, including one open module (sustainable development, social responsibility, or elective unit), a long laboratory immersion project, and a 5- to 6-month final internship.
