Master Chimie — Qualité et Traitement de l'Eau

Tuition fees for Master Chimie — Qualité et Traitement de l'Eau are 250 EUR per year.

Master Chimie — Qualite et Traitement de l'Eau is a two-year master's program at Universite de Poitiers, based in Poitiers, France, taught in French, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR and studies starting in September. This specialization sits within chemistry, focused on water quality and water treatment, meaning the chemical processes and analytical methods used to assess and improve the quality of water for drinking, industrial, or environmental purposes. Typical coursework includes water chemistry, analytical methods for detecting contaminants, the design and operation of water treatment processes, and the regulatory standards that govern water quality. Students usually combine laboratory analysis of water samples with study of the physical, chemical, and sometimes biological treatment methods used to remove pollutants and pathogens from water supplies. Coursework often also touches on environmental regulation, the management of water resources, and the challenges posed by industrial or agricultural pollution of water systems. Because water treatment sits at the intersection of chemistry, environmental science, and public health, programs of this kind tend to combine technical chemistry training with an understanding of the regulatory and infrastructural context in which water is managed. Graduates from this kind of specialization commonly work as water quality analysts, process engineers in water treatment facilities, or environmental consultants specializing in water resources, within water utilities, environmental agencies, or industrial companies with water treatment needs. Others move into regulatory roles or further research on water chemistry and treatment technology. Over the two years of the program, students generally progress from foundational water and analytical chemistry coursework toward more applied training in treatment processes, before completing the master's degree taught in French at Universite de Poitiers.
