    • Specialty – Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Processes (PPC)

    This course is open to UTC apprenticeship candidates.

    In addi­tion to acqui­ring reco­gni­zed scien­ti­fic and tech­no­lo­gi­cal skills, uni­ver­si­ty degree appren­ti­ce­ships enable stu­dents to learn pro­fes­sio­nal skills that are par­ti­cu­lar­ly appre­cia­ted by companies.

    The Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and Cos­me­tic Pro­cesses (PPC) spe­cial­ty pro­gramme focuses on the indus­tria­li­za­tion of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal, cos­me­tic and nutra­ceu­ti­cal pro­cesses. Deve­lo­ped in col­la­bo­ra­tion with the Ins­ti­tut du Médi­ca­ment de Tours, this pro­gramme includes a year's work-stu­dy with a phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal or cos­me­tics company.

    The aim of this pro­gramme is to train gene­ra­list engi­neers capable of trans­la­ting the spe­ci­fi­ca­tions of a for­mu­la­ted pro­duct into pro­cess spe­ci­fi­ca­tions, and sizing the equip­ment nee­ded for large-scale pro­duc­tion of the pro­duct while res­pec­ting the envi­ron­ment. Engi­neers trai­ned in this way will be able to rapid­ly apply their know­ledge and know-how in the phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal, cos­me­tics and nutra­ceu­ti­cal sec­tors. They will be able to:

    • Mas­ter the use of com­plex media (pow­ders, sus­pen­sions, emul­sions, foams, gels, etc.) to desi­gn and opti­mize mul­ti-phase pro­cesses (com­pres­sion, gra­nu­la­tion, coa­ting, crys­tal­li­za­tion, ato­mi­za­tion, drying, freeze-drying, emul­si­fi­ca­tion, etc.);
    • Imple­ment an indus­trial trans­po­si­tion metho­do­lo­gy (from labo­ra­to­ry to pilot, then indus­trial scale);
    •  Acquire in-depth know­ledge of the phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and cos­me­tics indus­tries (regu­la­tions, safe­ty, pro­duct qua­li­ty, sta­tis­ti­cal tools, vali­da­tion pro­cesses, etc.)

    In the PPC pro­gram, stu­dents will take the fol­lo­wing courses:

    • Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and cos­me­tics pro­cess desi­gn;
    • Equip­ment sizing for phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and cos­me­tic processes;
    • Indus­tria­li­sa­tion of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and cos­me­tic processes;
    • Regu­la­to­ry fra­me­work for the phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal and cos­me­tics industries;
    • Hydro­dy­na­mics of dis­per­sed systems;
    • Col­loi­dal sys­tems engineering.

    Pedagogical team

    The course is taught by a tea­ching team that includes lec­tu­rer-cum-research scien­tists, indus­tria­lists and exter­nal experts, to gua­ran­tee high-qua­li­ty trai­ning tai­lo­red to the needs of com­pa­nies and the chal­lenges facing society.

    Facilities and infrastructures

    Stu­dents have access to expe­ri­men­tal and digi­tal plat­forms. Pilot plants enable stu­dents imple­ment and prac­tise the fun­da­men­tal concepts of pro­cess engi­nee­ring (sepa­ra­tion pro­cesses, heat exchan­gers, reac­tors, fluid mecha­nics, etc.). Stu­dents also have access to a range of digi­tal tools for pro­cess simu­la­tion and optimization.

    Internships and career opportunities

    Nume­rous natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal indus­trial part­ner­ships have been deve­lo­ped with com­pa­nies invol­ved in pro­cess engi­nee­ring: Alstom, Avril, Bon­duelle, Engie, EDF, Fra­ma­tome, Nest­lé, Ora­no, Sano­fi, Suez, Tech­nip, Tereos, Total, Veo­lia, etc.

    Gra­duates are employed as pro­ject mana­gers, pro­duc­tion site mana­gers, R&D engi­neers, pro­duct and pro­cess qua­li­ty and safe­ty mana­gers, envi­ron­men­tal engi­neers, etc.

    International outreach

    During their trai­ning, engi­nee­ring stu­dents are requi­red to demons­trate their abi­li­ty to evolve in an inter­na­tio­nal context. To achieve this, they have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to spend one or more semes­ters stu­dying and/or doing an inter­n­ship abroad (around 40 des­ti­na­tions world­wide: Argen­ti­na, Bra­zil, Cana­da, Chile, Chi­na, Colom­bia, Fin­land, Ita­ly, Japan, Por­tu­gal, South Korea, Spain, Swe­den, Tai­wan, Uni­ted King­dom, Uni­ted States, etc.).
