Presentation
Environmental protection and sustainable development have become societal major issues. It is now also acknowledged that we must take advantage of our expertise in physico-chemistry and microbiology to identify, assess and manage the anthropogenic contamination of air, water, soils and waste. This program trains multidisciplinary researchers who will be able to offer and implement solutions to solve environmental problems.
The Chemistry and Life Sciences program aims at training specialists who are able to analyze, manage and process environmental issues. The program offers common core courses which train students in both Chemistry and Life sciences as related to the environment.
The Chemistry and Life Sciences program trains managers in the field of environment. Job prospects are the following:
- Research engineer
- Environmental engineer
- Research and Innovation engineer
The Chemistry and Life Sciences is a 2-year course. It offers 4 “tracks/paths”. All courses of the second year of the CMCEI and BME (or MBEM) tracks are taught in English. The CMCEI track is opened only for the second year.

M2 Chemical and microbiological characterization for environmental issues
Strongly increasing societal demand in the fields of Environment, Sustainable Development, and Health, implies a synergy of advanced skills in Chemistry and Biology Sciences. To be able to effectively respond to this demand and to implement innovative solutions providing efficient answers to these requests, it is essential to perfectly understand the interaction of contaminants with living organisms and particularly their structures, properties, reactivities/activities in natural ecosystems.
The “Chemical and Microbiological Characterization for Environmental Issues” (CMCEI) second-year course of the Master in Chemistry and Life Sciences and of the Master in Microbiology aims to train specialists with knowledge of the most recent advances in analytical chemistry, physics-chemistry, molecular biology, and environmental microbiology.
GREEN Graduate Program - Environmental analytical chemistry and microbiology (EACM)
The University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour offers a 5-year Master’s degree + PhD program of excellence in a variety of disciplines linked to energy and environmental research, the Graduate School for Energy and Environmental Innovation (GREEN).
Every student accepted into the program will be offered a €5,000 stipend per year for the first two years.
N.B. Our Master's programs may not open if enrollment is too low.
