Master in Chemical and Materials Engineering [120.0]

AnnéesTravail de fin d'étude


Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The Master’s degree in chemical and materials science engineering (KIMA) is a comprehensive and modular training which provides students with the basics of varied application fields, from chemical engineering to process engineering to nanotechnologies to the physics of advanced electronic and magnetic materials, via environmental engineering, sustainable development, and materials science engineering. This curriculum answers the needs of various technical professions and their fast-changing evolution : its comprehensiveness allows one to adapt to rapidly changing technologies and the broad diversity of job opportunities in the fields of chemistry and materials technology, while also developing cutting-edge competencies via the choice of coherent course modules (called 'options'). As a rule, this training is based on the conviction that learning through and towards research is the best way to build a student’s knowledge (academic knowledge, practical knowledge, and behaviour). Throughout the training, the student will therefore have many opportunities to visit experimental laboratories. Industrial visits and a traineeship can complement the training by familiarizing the student with the day-by-day concerns of industrial life.

Retour en début de pageGeneral presentation of the programme

The Master’s curriculum in chemical and materials science engineering will consist of at least 120 credits covering two years, with a minimum of 60 credits per year, and comprising :
- a core curriculum of at least 30 credits, including a final thesis and general interest electives;
- a 30-credit specialization;
- at least one option totalling at least 20 credits, to be chosen from amongst the following: chemical engineering, environment and sustainable development, inorganic materials and processes, polymers and macromolecules, mechanics of materials or nanotechnology;
- specialized elective courses, or one or more additional options (each totalling at least 20 credits, except for the management option) chosen from amongst the 10 options of the curriculum (chemical engineering, environment and sustainable development, inorganic materials and processes, polymers and macromolecules, mechanics of materials, nanotechnology, biomaterials and bioprocesses, optics, management or launching of small and medium-sized companies).
The final thesis is generally written during the last year. However, students may choose to take any given course in the first or second year, subject to possible prerequisites. This will be the case in particular for students pursuing part of their education abroad.

If, in the course of his (her) former curriculum, a student has already been credited with a subject included in the compulsory core curriculum, or any training deemed equivalent, this subject will be replaced by elective courses, while conforming to imposed constraints. The student is responsible for checking whether the minimum total number of credits has been reached, as well as those of the specialized field, which will appear on the final diploma.
The student’s curriculum will be submitted for acceptance by the Applied physics and chemistry diploma committee, using an ad hoc form to be found on the website of the committee.

Wathever the focus or the options chosen, the programme of this master shall totalise 120 credits, spread over two years of studies each of 60 credits

Teaching method

Retour en début de pageStrong points of the pedagogical approach

. Features favouring interdisciplinarity :
The Master’s in chemistry and materials science is intrinsically intedisciplinary, since it is located at the interface between chemistry and physics. It features a comprehensive base allowing the student to acquire the basics of the main application fields of applied chemistry and physics, a training through practice and cutting edge research, and various options in each field of chemistry and materials technology : polymers and macromolecules, inorganic materials and processes, mechanics of materials, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, optics, and environment and sustainable development. An integration of biotechnologies is ensured via the option in bio-materials et bio-processes, whereas management is included via options in management and the launching of small and medium-sized companies. The curriculum features a significant number of PHYS (or PHY), CHIM (or CHM), BIOL, INIS, INMA, MECA, ELEC, AMCO, BRNA and BIR courses, which testifies as to the determination to be trans-disciplinary . What’s more, the curriculum permits to chooses up to 40 elective credits from amongst the UCL exact or medical sciences curricula, and up to 6 credits in the humanities, which allows a student to customize a curriculum depending on personal choices.

. Variety of teaching situations :
The pedagogy implemented in the engineering Master’s curriculum is aligned with that of the engineering Bachelor’s curriculum: active learning, a balanced mix of group and individual work, and substantial time devoted to the development of non-technical competencies. A salient feature of the curriculum is the immersion of students in the research laboratories of the various instructors (during teaching laboratory sessions, case studies, projects and final thesis), which allows them to become familiar with up-to-date methods in the related fields, and to learn through the questioning approach which is inherent to research. An optional 10-credit training period, to be performed for at least 2 months in a research centre or a company, will allow a motivated student to experience a professional environment.

. Variety of learning situations :
The student will encounter a variety of pedagogical tools tailored to the various disciplines : formal lectures, individual projects in small groups, tutorials, project-based learning, case studies, experimental laboratory work, computer simulations, teachware, industrial or research training, visits to industries, individual and group work, seminars given by outside scientists, etc.
This variety of situations will help students to build their knowledge in an iterative and progressive manner, while developing their autonomy, organizational skills, time management, and capacity to use various modes of communication, etc.

Retour en début de pageEvaluation

All learning activities are assessed as prescribed by the University internal regulations (see exam regulations), viz. written and oral exams, laboratory exams, individual or group work, public presentation of projects and final thesis.
Detailement assessment rules will be made clear by each individual instructor, at the first lecture.


Internationalisation
Global framework

The Faculty of Applied Sciences has taken part, since their inception, in all the various mobility programmes which have been set up at both the European and world levels.

The numerous contacts it has with professional circles, notably via its Advisory Board, have demonstrated to what extent employers are favourably impressed by a mobility experience in someone’s CV. The ever-increasing internationalization of research via networks linking laboratories throughout the world, speaks in favour of encouraging this mobility.

Students’ interest is aroused at the end of their Bachelor studies, notably via intensive courses such as those of the ATHENS ( ) or BEST ( ) networks.

In the course of the two-year Master’s programme, students are encouraged to take part in a 1- or 2-semester exchange scheme

Within Belgium, the Faculty of Applied Sciences is involved in a privileged partnership with the Faculteit Ingenieurswetenschappen of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, with whom it has set up an exchange scheme relating to the first year of the Master’s curriculum (http://eng.kuleuven.be/).

At the European level, the Faculty of Applied Sciences is strongly involved in the CLUSTER excellence network ( ). This network encourages internal mobility, since this is a guarantee of quality as concerns both the level of teaching and the hosting of exchange students. Moreover, Cluster partners have signed an agreement recognizing each other’s Bachelor’s curricula. This agreement stipulates that all Bachelors of network institutions will have access to the Master’s studies in any institution on a par with local students.

Outside Europe, the Faculty of Applied Sciences is a partner in the Magalhaes network, which groups about fifteen European universities together with the best South American science and technology universities (http://www.magalhaes-network.net/).

Besides these network partnerships, the Faculty has also signed a number of individual agreements with various universities in Europe, North America or elsewhere in the world. A list of these agreements may be found on the website of UCL International Relations (http://www.uclouvain.be/international.html).

UCL is also a partner in the TIME programme ( ) which gives students the opportunity to obtain two engineeering degrees, via a specifically tailored curriculum.

Specific features of the KIMA Master’s:

The Master’s in chemistry and materials science engineering features two international openings, allowing a student to very easily pursue studies abroad, while ensuring a high-quality curriculum in chemistry and materials science. The integration of the Master’s into these international programmes requires that some courses be taught in English. This is why, the default situation is that all first semester MAPR courses are taught in English, unless all attendees decide otherwise at the outset, out of respect for non-French speaking participants. However, all second semester MAPR courses are taught in French, unless all attendees decide otherwise at the outset.

Within the first international opening, organized by the European FAME excellence network, the student will choose a first year of Master studies in materials science either at the University of Augsburg, or at the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (all courses taught in English). The student may apply for an Erasmus grant to finance mobility during that first year. It will then be back to UCL for the second year, with the possiblity of carrying out part of the final thesis at one of the partner universities (Augsburg, Grenoble, Bordeaux, Darmstadt, Aveiro, Liège, UCL). After successful completion of the curriculum, the student will be awarded a degree in chemical and materials science engineering from UCL, and also a "Master 2R Science et Génie des Matériaux" (Grenoble) or "Master in Advanced Materials Science" (Augsburg), grouped under the common title "International Master in Functional Advanced Materials and Engineering". Additional information may be found on http://www.fame-master.com/

As for the second international opening, the student will complete the last year within the framework of the European Master’s in Rheology. This training comprises compulsory courses as well as group activities, on the campus of the coordinating university (Minho, Portugal) and advanced elective courses on a remote basis. The final thesis will be conducted at one of the partner universities . After successful completion of the curriculum, the student will be awarded a KIMA Master’s degree from UCL, and also a European diploma in Rheology.

• International possibilities (for UCL students)

Besides intensive courses which are one component of international relations, EPL students with outstanding results are encouraged to apply for 5- or 10-month exchange programmes.
When taking place during the first Master’s year, exchanges are generally 10 months long. In the second year, they only last for a semester, either as courses or else research in a foreign laboratory as a complement to the final thesis.

Some other more specific exchange programmes have been set up with South America, where the academic year is naturally on an “austral” basis.

Students are informed about the various exchange programmes as from their second Bachelor’s year. They are encouraged to prepare for their exchange in a timely manner, notably by taking language courses at the Modern Languages Institute of UCL.

• International appeal (for non-résidents)

As described below, the University of Louvain (UCL) has developed a long-standing experience of greeting foreign students within the framework of international or exchange programmes. The "Master in Chemical and Materials Engineering" fits within this general tradition, and offers the student a top-notch programme in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, encompassing a wide field of scientific activities in Applied Physics and Chemistry. Admission requires approval by the Committee for Engineering Studies in Chemistry and Physics, on the basis of a comprehensive résumé submitted by the student pursuant to the general regulations of the University of Louvain published on www.uclouvain.be.

To facilitate the integration of foreign students, courses are given in English during the first and third semesters of the Master’s (this rule may be relaxed for some courses at the onset of the semester, if so decided by ALL participating students). This allows non-French-speaking students to begin their Master’s studies under the best conditions, while upgrading their knowledge of French by following French-as-a-Foreign-Language classes (see below) or by immersion into the student life of Louvain-la-Neuve. However, the courses of the second and fourth semesters are given in French (unless decided otherwise by all participating students), which provides foreign students with a unique opportunity to master French, one of the important official languages of the European Union.

The curriculum consists of a large number of elective courses which allow students to set up a customized programme based on their previous learning experience, and comprises an optional traineeship in industry, 30 credits of work in research laboratories, and projects giving a more practical bent to the training. The instructors of the Master’s in Chemical and Materials Science Engineering are recognized scientists, with track records of excellence in applied chemistry and physics, as testified by their integration into European networks of excellence (FAME, NANOBEAMS, NANOQUANTA), their participation in international research programmes, their numerous contracts with European industrial companies, and their large number of publications in high ranking scientific journals including Nature, Science, Nature Materials, Physical Review Letters, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nano Letters, etc. This not only ensures that the most recent scientific advances in the fields of chemistry and physics are passed on to the students, but also that students are introduced to typical industrial concerns, issues and recent developments.

The programme can also be taken as part of the International Master’s in Functional Advanced Materials and Engineering which is currently being considered for support within the Erasmus Mundus frame. In addition, the final year of the Master’s may be super-imposed on the second year of the European Master’s in Rheology. Ask for updated information on these possibilities from the person in charge of the programme at Louvain.

Services offered by the University to foreign students

About 1000 European and third-country students are welcomed each year in Louvain-la-Neuve, amounting to almost 19% of Louvain's students. A series of administrative units from Schools and University Central Services are responsible for foreign students. These units benefit from support from the International Relations Office (Administration des relations internationales, ADRI) for the follow-up of application files and for grant management. The University web site provides answers to frequently asked questions about housing, admission, rules, curricula and names of responsible officers or Faculty members.

Arriving visiting students may obtain useful information by reading the "Guide for the visiting exchange student" published on the web site of ADRI (http://www.uclouvain.be/en-etudiantinternational.html). This comprehensive guide, which is regularly updated and available in French and English, provides information on practical issues such as housing, language courses, admission and registration, student assistance, cost of living, student clubs, health insurance, University structure, etc. In addition, the registration service of UCL sends to registered students, well before their arrival in Belgium, all the paperwork needed to obtain a visa, apply for housing, and solve specific legal issues.

Once arrived in Belgium, and upon final registration, students also receive a copy of the "Guide pratique de l’étudiant", which lists useful addresses and links for residents of Louvain-la-Neuve. Finally, the Student Assistance Service provides help to students in need of social, medical, financial or cultural assistance.

The campus of Louvain-la-Neuve benefits from numerous extra-curricular activities organized by student societies. Some students elect to live in community apartments (or "community-kots") devoted to the development of specific projects (in culture, sports, politics, etc.). A few of these "community-kots" are dedicated to helping foreign students to socialize in Louvain-la-Neuve. Furthermore, disabled persons benefit from special support from the University and specialized "community-kots", and the whole campus is wheelchair-friendly.

Numerous computer rooms and libraries are available to registered students. Free language classes are provided by the ILV (Institut des Langues Vivantes) during the course semesters; alternatively, students may pay to access language classes organized during the course semesters or holiday periods by the independent CLL (Centre de langues de Louvain-la-Neuve). Fee reductions are available for Erasmus Mundus students. A few "community-kots" also propose language support and discussion panels. Finally, classes of French as a Foreign Language (FFL) are organized by the ILV and are freely accessible to students who take these classes as part of their curriculum.
