Studying for the Master degree in Analytical Chemistry, means gaining skills and knowledge to be able to hold managerial positions, either as a laboratory manager, or as a project manager on missions requiring analytical chemistry expertise. The teaching focusses on all the main analytical methods to allow a wide scope of applications across a variety of industries (Physico-chemical analysis, Industrial analysis, Forensic science).
The core strength of the course is the focus on teaching all the main analytical methods at an expert level, and to provide individual coaching for the students to further their personal development with their professional ambitions in mind.

The Master’s programme in “Physical and Analytical Chemistry” comprises two professional tracks, each with its own dedicated website. Students enrol in a track in the first year, with no possibility of changing tracks during the year.
Professional Track: Analysis and Control https://master-analyse-controle.univ-lyon1.fr/
In the second year, three pathways are available:
|
Physico-Chemical Analyses (APC)
|
|
Online and Industrial Analysis (AI)
|
|
Forensic Science (CRIM)
|
Professional Track: Formulation and Industrial Chemistry https://master-formulation-chimie-industrielle.univ-lyon1.fr/
These two tracks were merged in 2022 into a single Master’s programme with the aim of sharing certain teaching units and pedagogical approaches, particularly in relation to work-study schemes.
Work-study is therefore central to this Master’s programme and is possible under two arrangements:
-
Work-study for both M1 and M2 years (the work-study contract is signed for two years with the same company).
-
Work-study only for the M2 year, after completing M1 as a regular full-time student.
- 20% of students enter their first job through pursuing a doctoral thesis,
- while 80% join companies immediately upon graduation.
Many companies recruit across all areas of processing industries, from petrochemicals to food production, from construction to nuclear, as well as in pharmaceuticals and environmental sectors.
The professions of “Analysis and Control” and “Formulation” are fully recognised and listed in the Directory of Professions in the Chemical Industries (Répertoire des Métiers des Industries Chimiques). Their central role across all chemistry-related fields gives them a valued and recognised status.
Within the Master’s programme, each student is supported in developing their career plan and identifying the sector in which they can thrive professionally. Although the sector may seem highly specialised, there is a wide range of roles and areas of application:
-
Research and Development
-
Laboratory Management
-
Quality Control / Production Control / Online Control
-
Scientific Instrumentation
-
Technical Sales
-
Customs, Fraud Investigation, Law Enforcement, and Expertise
-
Corporate Training
