Chimie (Master)

The Master's in Chemistry (Maîtrise en chimie) at Université du Québec à Montréal is a research-based, thesis program covering biomedical, biotechnological, electrochemical, materials-synthesis, and environmental applications of chemistry, alongside core training in general chemical sciences aimed at environmental protection, health, and technological efficiency. Students choose a research topic and a research director early in the program and complete a thesis, either as a traditional dissertation or as a scientific article submitted as first author to a peer-reviewed journal. The program totals 45 credits and runs over a nominal two years full-time or four years part-time, with courses offered during the day and admission open on a continuous basis across terms. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in chemistry, or the equivalent, completed with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on a 4.3 scale; candidates with an average between 2.8 and 3.2 may be considered by the admissions committee, and candidates from other scientific disciplines with an average of 3.2 or higher may be admitted subject to additional coursework.
