With this discipline which requires a global approach which goes from the main molecule (active ingredient, polymer, surfactant, etc.) to the property of use of a set of compounds, we aim to give students a solid training in the physico-chemistry of media. dispersed (emulsions, suspensions, etc.). In addition, it can allow them to access research activities in the design, development and production of formulated products with controlled usage properties, the physico-chemical characterization of these products and quality control in many sectors of the chemical industry.

The academic master's degree in physico-chemistry of dispersed media and formulations has as its main objective, through the preparation of a doctorate, the training of competent researchers in the field of dispersed media (complex heterogeneous systems). The holder of the master should have acquired skills in characterization, analysis and understanding of the behavior of these environments. The candidate could thus pursue a high-level doctorate or join a research and development or chemical analysis laboratory in the economic sector.

In M1, will be admitted students holding licenses in science of matter (chemistry, chemistry-physics, analytical chemistry, etc.). Access will be oriented for students holding a bachelor's degree in a scientifically comparable field or any recognized equivalent diploma to be a candidate for this master's degree. More atypical courses (resumption of studies after passing through professional life, validation of acquired knowledge) will be examined on a case-by-case basis.

In M2, students who have completed a year equivalent to M1 in another university will be admitted. Admission to M2 for candidates from a scientific background and holders of a master's degree, recognized engineering title, pharmacists or equivalent diplomas, will be made after individual interview and selection. Applicants from outside the training will be selected on file and individual interview subject to a minimum prerequisite in physico-chemistry.

Application potentials 

Among the openings of this master there are the sectors of higher education and university or industrial scientific research (pharmacy, phytosanitary products, materials) but also chemical analysis laboratories.

The holder of the proposed master's degree in 'physico-chemistry of dispersed media and formulations', having a multidisciplinary character and aim, can easily integrate a university research or R&D team at the level of an industrial establishment. He can prepare a doctorate in chemistry type LMD or offer his skills in the fields of physico-chemistry, analysis and characterization and formulation. In the industrial field, dominated precisely by the formulation aspect of products (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, detergents, etc.), its scientific and technical contribution can be invaluable in rationalizing this aspect and improving productivity. This need is expressed both at regional (Mitidja and Algiers) and national level.
