Admissions Information

Admission to the second year of the Master’s program in Pharmaceutical Chemistry is open to students who have successfully completed the first year in the same specialty or in closely related fields (such as organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, or biochemistry), after their transfer request has been reviewed by an academic committee. Successful completion of all first-year modules is required, or compensation may be allowed according to the LMD system. In some universities, the overall grade average, the research project, and the internship location are also taken into consideration. Progression is automatic for students enrolled in the same program, while transfers or admissions from other tracks require a detailed review of the application file.
