Program outline

The EUREkA UBGrad program, which is fully customizable, focuses on general scientific objectives that favor an interdisciplinary and rational research approach. These scientific objectives are based on the function-through-structure materials design, which includes:

  • the control of complexity,
  • the rational design and
  • the instrumental control over (nano) structures of tailored-made materials.

This approach is implemented via three specific educational and research axes which are:

  • Advanced Functional Polymer Materials
  • Advanced Functional Inorganic Materials
  • Advanced Functional Hybrid & Colloidal Materials

Strengths

  • Students develop skills based on the large range of materials topics studied in the University of Bordeaux campus laboratory: inorganic materials, colloids and polymers.
  • Students work within campus laboratories for two internships during the 2 years (4 and 6 months full time). In addition to the campus laboratories, other academic (collaborations with more than 10 international universities) and industrial (more than 15 partners) laboratories are proposed.
  • The customizable program favors optimum personal development for each student.
  • A mentoring procedure provides strong academic and professional guidance over the 2 years.
  • Students participate in a summer school where they may meet professors and students from abroad.
  • Each semester, some courses (15 to 30%) are taught by international professors.
  • The University of Bordeaux has been identified as a Campus of Excellence within the field of Materials.

I have nothing but great things to say about my time in Bordeaux. The University provided support with the logistics of coming abroad, such as organizing the student housing with the Crous (an organization that deals with various aspects of student life in France) and opening bank accounts. And everyone helped me with my French! I made “gavé” (huge) improvements.
