Project in molecular sciences II

CH-590 / 30 crédits

Enseignant: Profs divers *

Langue: Anglais

Remark: MA3 only

Summary

Research project in one of our chemistry laboratories at SCGC. Duration: 4 months, if realized in industry, can then be extended to 6 months

Content

The practical education at the master in Molecular and Biological Chemistry is taking place in research laboratories at ISIC or elsewhere. Students are expected to contact the research group leaders to find a project. After project 1b, students are now diving into research.

The project in molecular sciences II (laboratory training for chemists) aims at students to become familiar to theoretical and/or practical approaches applied by chemists. It is possible to complete the Master’s project at the same place.

Project II can be done in one or several laboratories of SCGC. It can be done in another laboratory at EPFL, but with a SCGC co-supervisor. Having done at least two semesters of master studies is required before doing project II.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Choose methodology to target final objectives
  • Create new molecules or materials
  • Interpret data to explain insight
  • Assess / Evaluate theory compare with practice

Transversal skills

  • Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.
  • Communicate effectively, being understood, including across different languages and cultures.
