Objectives of general skills

• 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.
• 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.
• Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
• Pursue their education and gain additional knowledge and new skills.
• Adapt and evolve in a new context.
• Apply high quality scientific methodology.
