Course Details

Objectives: The SIGMA Clermont engineering program specializing in Chemistry aims to train engineers capable of designing, developing, characterizing, and industrializing chemical products and processes, while integrating safety, quality, industrial performance, and sustainable development constraints.
Graduates possess strong scientific and technological skills in chemistry and process engineering, complemented by transferable skills in management, innovation, and social responsibility, enabling them to thrive in industrial, research, or engineering environments.

Program Content
The program is organized over three years and is based on a balance between theoretical instruction, practical work, projects, and professional simulations.

• First year: core scientific curriculum in chemistry, physical chemistry, process engineering, mathematics, computer science, and engineering sciences, supplemented by courses in languages, humanities, and sustainable development. • Second and third years: progressive specialization through career tracks, including:
o High-Performance Materials,
o Healthcare and Cosmetic Product Engineering,
o Process Engineering and Energy.
The program is structured into modular semesters (30 ECTS credits per semester).
Practical training relies on a shared technological platform that includes analytical, characterization, and synthesis tools comparable to those used in industry and research (physicochemical analysis, chemical engineering, materials science).
The curriculum includes a minimum of 42 weeks of internships, spread over the three years, with opportunities for international mobility, gap years, and dual degrees.

Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)

Admission requirements: Preparatory classes (CPGE PC mainly, ATS, TPC), integrated preparatory classes (Prépa des INP, CPI Fédération Gay-Lussac), admissions based on qualifications: BUT, BTS, scientific degrees (chemistry, chemical engineering, physical measurements…).

Targeted careers : Process engineer, R&D engineer, production or industrialization engineer, quality-safety-environment engineer, industrial project manager.

Sectors: chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, materials, energy, industrial processes.

Duration and terms: 3 years

Partnerships with national organisations: Campus Aéronautique ARA, Fédé Gay-Lussac (chimie et génie des procédés), Clermont Auvergne INP
