      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.
        • 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.
      • 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.
        • Adapt their communication to a variety of audiences.
        • Where possible, communicate in English.
      • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
        • Pursue their education and gain additional knowledge and new skills.
      • Apply high quality scientific methodology.
        • Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.
      • 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.
