At the request of the student, subject to agreement of the committee overseeing the courses (direction des études), any UE can be replaced by another UE of similar scope offered at the ENS or affiliated universities.

A modular structure makes it possible to give a personal flavour to the second year, with lectures in various fields of chemistry, seminars, training in a foreign language, and lectures about "Chimie, histoire et société".

The first half of the M1 year comprises work in small groups and various activities under the guidance of a tutor.

The second half of the M1 year (16 weeks) is completely devoted to a total immersion in a research laboratory, usually chosen in a foreign country,

To obtain the ENS Diploma after 3 years, additional courses leading to another 6 ECTS must be chosen in the second year
