    Master

  • Duration

    Flexible

Get in at the bleeding edge of contemporary chemistry: theoretical and computational chemistry are marking the new era that lies ahead in the molecular sciences. The aim of the programme is to train scientists that are able to address a wide range of problems in modern chemical, physical and biological sciences through the combination of theoretical and computational tools.

This programme is organised by:

Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (coordinating institution), Spain
Universiteit Groningen, the Netherlands
KU Leuven, Belgium
Università degli Studi di Perugia, Italy
Universidade do Porto, Portugal
Université Paul Sabatier - Toulouse III, France
Universitat de Valencia, Spain
The Erasmus Mundus Master of Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling is a joint initiative of these European Universities, including KU Leuven and co-ordinated by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.

This is an initial Master's programme and can be followed on a full-time or part-time basis.

About this course

Modern Chemistry is unthinkable without the achievements of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. As a result these disciplines have become a mandatory tool for the molecular science towards the end of the 20th century, and they will undoubtedly mark the new era that lies ahead of us.
In this perspective the training and formation of the new generations of computational and theoretical chemists with a deep and broad knowledge is of paramount importance. Experts from seven European universities have decided to join forces in a European Master Course for Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM). This course is recognized as an Erasmus Mundus course by the European Union.
Graduates will have acquired the skills and competences for advanced research in chemical, physical and material sciences, will be qualified to collaborate in an international research team, and will be able to develop professional activities as experts in molecular design in pharmaceutical industry, petrochemical companies and new-materials industry.

In addition to commanding sound theoretical knowledge in chemistry and computational modelling, you will be equipped to apply any of the scientific codes mastered in the programme in a work environment, or develop new codes to address new requirements associated with research or productive activities.

You will have attained the necessary skills to pursue a scientific career as a doctoral student in chemistry, physics or material science. You will also be qualified to work as an expert in molecular design in the pharmaceutical industry, at petrochemical companies and in the new-materials industry. You will also have a suitable profile to work as a computational expert.

Course programme

Candidates holding a Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, physics or material science (or an equivalent degree as authorised by the legislation of the corresponding European country) are eligible for admission.
Holders of other scientific Bachelor’s degrees may be accepted provided the student takes complementary levelling courses under the supervision of his/her local tutor.

For students from third countries or students with Bachelor’s degrees different from those mentioned above, the prerequisite knowledge level should be certified, as specified above. All application files (including those of students from third countries and those with other Bachelor's degrees) are evaluated by the programme's International Committee. Proficiency in the following (or equivalent) subjects at the level of the Chemistry Eurobachelor must be certified:

  • Chemical Bonding;
  • Atomic and Molecular Structure and Intermolecular Interactions;
  • General Physics;
  • Mathematics;
  • General Physical Chemistry;
  • Thermodynamics and Kinetics;
  • Spectroscopy.

Some deficiencies in mathematics, physics or chemistry may be remedied through the levelling courses. If there are deficiencies in more than two of these areas, however, the applicant will not be accepted.

Candidates must submit an internationally recognised English proficiency certificate equivalent to a TOEFL score of minimum 500/213, or an IELTS score of 6. The same criteria apply to students from third countries (outside the EU).
