Manager of the Master’s program: Jolanta SWIATOWSKA , Chimie ParisTech - PSL and Loïc ASSAUD, ESPCI Paris - PSL
Led by the three major engineering schools of PSL (MINES Paris - PSL, Chimie ParisTech - PSL, and ESPCI Paris - PSL), the Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering draws on the scientific expertise of researchers and faculty members from the laboratories of these schools as well as other partner institutions outside of PSL.
It is affiliated with the PSL Graduate Program in Engineering (ISAI).
This Master’s program aims to:
- provide both the experimental and theoretical knowledge required, on the one hand, to imagine and design innovative materials meeting precise specifications, and on the other hand, to improve the performance of existing materials and predict their service life;
- establish the link between processing, synthesis, and shaping methods, (micro)structure, and structural and/or functional properties.
The degree is awarded by PSL University.

Master 1
The goal of the M1 program is to provide a common base of theoretical and experimental knowledge in the field of materials, which is necessary before any specialization. It offers a fairly general training in chemistry, physics and materials mechanics. This program offers an initial specialization through optional course units, allowing students to focus more or less heavily on one or the other of these two areas, depending on the track they plan to pursue in the M2.
It also includes an internship of two to three months and a research project.
Master 2
PSL’s Master’s in Science and Materials Engineering offers two different majors at the M2 level.
Materials of the Future: Design and Engineering (MADI)
This course offers an integrated vision of different materials of the future, including the synthesis processes, the strategy of choice of structure and architecture and the associated physical properties. The physical and chemical properties of the major classes of materials are presented in synergy (metals, ceramics, inorganic compounds, polymers, etc.). At the end of the program, the student must be able to elaborate a relevant and/or innovative material for an application whose specifications will have been defined in relation with other design contributors (designer, production engineer, marketing, etc.)
Microfluidics
Taught between Sorbonne Université, Université Paris Cité and Université Paris-Saclay, this program educates students in the field of microfluidics (the science of flows at the micrometric scale), but also in any field involving fluids and micro/nanotechnologies. This is why the program is very open: fluid dynamics, physical chemistry, openness to biology, biotechnology. Many micro/nanofabrication TPs are on the program.
This curriculum is co-accredited by Université Paris-Saclay and Sorbonne Université (SU)
Admission to M1 and M2 programs is done with application and requires a validated L3 or M1, respectively, or equivalent for candidates who hold foreign degrees. In addition to registering on the Campus France website, the later must fill out an application with the educational institution.
