Sustainable chemistry and Bioprocesses 5th year specialization domainCDB

This 5th year specialization domain aims to train engineers to implement clean technologies in a sustainable development context in order to provide solutions in the fields of green chemistry, bioprocesses and the environment.

The 5th year specialization domain is composed of four 5th year specialization curriculums.

CVeBio and CFiBio include 100-hr mutual courses focusing on the fields of Green processes, Formulation and Bioprocesses. Mutual courses are taught in English, as well as all the Green Chemistry courses (CVeBio).

CDEn has 25 hours of courses in common with CVeBio.

• CVeBio courses are coupled with the Master of Green Chemistry (UPS/Toulouse INP).
• CFiBio courses are coupled with the Master of Processes and Bioprocesses (UPS/Toulouse INP).
• CDen courses are transverse within Toulouse INP.
• PPQPS courses are coupled with UPS/Faculté de Pharmacie

The four pathways include a 157 hour project (topics will be defined by the research centers, in connection with industrial issues) and lectures shared with the other specializations (Business engineering). 10% of lectures and seminars are taught by guest speakers e.g. foreign invited professors or industrial partners such as TOTAL, UCB Pharma, Laboratoires Expanscience, Lallemand…

In our effort to expand diversity, our students come from different origins:

• ENSIACET students mainly from the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering departments,
• Students under professional contract,
• Students of the Gay-Lussac Federation,
• France exchange students  (ENSAT or other Sciences Agro Schools),
• Foreign exchange students,
• Students of the International Master Green CAP,
• Students of Toulouse INP for the CDEn courses,
• Students of Master M1 (PPQPS).
