Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Have acquired professional skills in relation to the objective defining the degree.
• Specialise in at least one sub-domain of chemistry.
• Learn about scientific research and the world of research.
• Integrate into an inter-university environment and conduct scientific collaborations.
• In the field of chemistry, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in chemistry.
• Help lead and complete a major development project, individually or in teams, related to chemistry.
• Mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired.
• Assess the degree of complexity of the project and take into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
• Demonstrate independence and their ability to work alone or in teams.
• Manage research, development and innovation within chemistry and/or its applications.
• Understand unprecedented problems in chemistry.
• Mobilise their knowledge effectively, identify their limits, conduct methodical research and critically analyse scientifically valid information.
• Possibly propose innovative solutions to targeted problems, which also requires attentiveness and mutual respect, as well as argue and establish constructive debates.
• Communicate clearly in the scientific domain.
• Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
• Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.
• Apply high quality scientific methodology.
• Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The student will be able to: - Understand and describe using the adapted nomenclature the different interactions that may exist between matter and the electromagnetic radiation. - Interpreting the results of the interaction between matter and the electromagnetic radiation to deduce information about the atomic and molecular structure, the electronic structure and / or to evaluate the relative concentration of the material .

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

* Quantum mechanics basics * Interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter * Electron spectroscopy of diatomic molecules and polyatomic * Electron Spectroscopy of Nanostructures * Synchrotron radiation basics * Spectroscopic methods ( photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, X-ray absorption ( XANES / EXAFS ) and energy loss spectroscopy ( EELS)
