M2 Research and Development for Analytical Strategies
The objective of this Master’s program is to provide students with a solid scientific education based on the learning of experimental research methodologies, and in particular to equip them with the necessary tools to implement analytical science approaches when studying phenomena and complex systems (living organisms, agro-food and biological matrices, natural environments).
Its aims are to:
- Develop students’ scientific and strategic skills to become effective research project managers.
- Train highly qualified candidates for doctoral fellowships.
- Provide access to opportunities in industrial R&D.
This program provides students with the scientific foundation required to pursue a PhD or to join innovation, research, and development teams as executives in public or private companies in the fields of pharmacy, cosmetology, agri-food, and biology.
Understand the principles of a measurement, its capabilities and limits; to know techniques for validating analytical methods.
L'objectif de cette spécialité de Master est de donner aux étudiants une formation scientifique fondée sur l'apprentissage de méthodologies de la recherche expérimentale et de leur fournir en particulier les outils nécessaires à la mise en œuvre de la démarche des sciences analytiques, lorsque sont abordées l'étude de phénomènes et de milieux complexes (milieux vivants, matrices agro-alimentaires et biologiques, milieux naturels). Elle a pour finalités :
Donner aux étudiants des compétences scientifiques et stratégiques pour devenir de bons manageurs de projets de recherche
Former de potentiels candidats qualifiés pour l'obtention de bourses de thèse
Donner une accessibilité à des services de R&D industriels
Holders of this qualification are highly trained in chemistry and have in-depth scientific knowledge of analytical sciences and the latest strategic data processing and modeling methods.
They are prepared to apply for doctoral programmes and obtain thesis funding.
The programme is intended to enable students to step into any sector analytical chemistry, private or public; to exercise functions such as research and development engineer; or to become research project managers in the fields of pharmacy, biology, food or the environment.
As managers, they are at the junction between technicians and the hierarchy, and may be called upon to direct and supervise teams of technicians to coordinate the analytical strategies drawn up for the realisation of projects.
To be admitted to the RDSA M2, students must have completed a level of studies at least equivalent to:
- M1 route specialising in Analytical Chemistry, or
- Under certain conditions, 5th year of Pharmacy studies in France or a European Union country, or
- Chemical engineers graduated in France or a European Union country, or
- Under certain conditions, students admitted to the 3rd year of an engineering school
- AgroParisTech students admitted to the 2nd year can directly access the M2
- Students from countries outside the European Union must put together a file which will be examined by a VAA equivalence commission. Access to M2 is also open in continuous education; validation of M1 skills is then obtained by VAE (validation of prior experience).
L’accès au M2 est ouvert en formation continue, la validation des acquis du M1 est alors obtenue par VAE.
The holder of this qualification has the skills to:
- Manage a study project concerning the analysis of complex phenomena and environments (living environments, agri-food and biological matrices, natural environments),
- Develop an analysis strategy and apply chemometrics methods,
- Conduct an experiment protocol,
- Interpret, use and validate the results of analyses,
- Write a summary report describing the experiments carried out, the methods applied, specifying their field of validity, and the results obtained, using the appropriate computer tools to communicate the results to experts or clients.
- Provide training by transferring knowledge and skills.
Holders of this Master's degree take part in research activities. Students implement an analytical approach, carry out or direct studies by applying chemometrics methods (designing experiment, interpreting signals and analytical data, integrating multi-technical information, using "omics" tools, imaging, modeling).
