Open to current issues in the fields of health, environment, pharmaceutics and agri-food, UQAM's master's degree in biochemistry focuses on the study of the functioning of living beings at the molecular scale. It trains students to basic and applied research while preparing them for the job market.
With professors engaged in the field and active in research, the students carry out a project in collaboration with specialized institutions, private or governmental. At the end of their studies, graduates work in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or agri-food industries, in patent offices, laboratories or in the fields of communication or college education.
Focusing on environmental protection, health improvement and technological efficiency, the Master of Science in Chemistry offers a solid general education in science as well as bringing students to the cutting edge of knowledge in a field of specialization . Practical activities and applied research projects develop the scientific autonomy of students and prepare them for doctoral studies or careers in the field of research.
From the first year of the Master's degree, students join teams of interdisciplinary researchers working on nanomaterials, preventive vaccines and green energy. Theoretical and practical training leads, among other things, to the pharmaceutical and industrial fields, college education and materials processing.
