The three primary activities in theoretical and computational chemistry are development of new theory, implementation of methods as reliable software, and application of such methods to a host of challenges in chemical and related sciences. The MSc aims to train new research students to be able to deliver these outcomes.

The MSc consists of a set of training modules and a short project. The compulsory core modules are:

  • Mathematics
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Introduction to Programming
  • Statistics
  • Methods of computer simulation
  • Electronic structure theory
  • Software Development.

You will also select a number of optional courses (currently five), which may include:

  • Applied Computational Chemistry
  • Biomolecular Simulation
  • Mathematics II
  • Quantum Mechanics in Condensed Phases
  • Intermolecular Potentials
  • Chemical Informatics
  • Reaction Dynamics
  • Advanced Quantum Mechanics
  • Advanced Statistical Mechanics.
