MA/MS in Maîtrise en chimie

The Master's in Chemistry is a 45-credit, research-focused graduate program at Universite de Montreal covering the full range of chemistry sub-fields, including environmental chemistry, energy, spectroscopy, organic synthesis, and theoretical chemistry. The curriculum consists of advanced coursework, about 20 percent of credits, and a research component, about 80 percent of credits, carried out mainly in a research laboratory, where students plan, conduct, and interpret original experiments and complete a master's thesis. Admission requires a completed North American bachelor's degree, or an equivalent M1-level qualification from the European system that includes research internships, along with a one-page motivation letter and a curriculum vitae of up to three pages. Applicants may be admitted without a confirmed research supervisor but must secure one within a set timeframe. Courses are delivered on campus at the Montreal and MIL campuses. Nominal full-time duration is two years, with a minimum full-time enrolment of three terms. The program admits students in the Summer, Fall, and Winter terms.
