Molecular Modelling MSc

Students will gain detailed knowledge and skills in molecular modelling, focusing on the state-of-the art simulation techniques employed to research the molecular level properties that determine the macroscopic behaviour of matter. They will also gain key research skills and will learn the basic concepts in business and entrepreneurship as applied to high-tech industries.

Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.

The programme consists of two core modules (45 credits), three optional module (45 credits) and a research project (90 credits).

• Simulation Methods in Materials Chemistry
• The Scientific Literature

Students take 45 credits (3 modules) drawn from the following:

• Mastering Entrepreneurship
• Numerical Methods in Chemistry
• Researcher Professional Development
• Transferable Skills for Scientists
• Choice of one postgraduate lecture module at UCL
• Concepts in Computational and Experimental Chemistry
• Advanced Topics in Inorganic Chemistry
• Inorganic Rings, Chains and Clusters
• Biological Chemistry
• Principles of Drug Design
• Principles and Methods of Organic Synthesis
• Pathways, Intermediates and Function in Organic Chemistry
• Advanced Topics in Physical Chemistry
• New Directions in Materials Chemistry

All students undertake a computational research project which culminates in a substantial dissertation of approximately 10,000 to 12,000 words.

The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars and laboratory classes. Assessment is through unseen examination, coursework, individual and group projects, poster creation, presentation and the research project.
