Theoretical and Computational Chemistry – (M.Sc.)

Increasing your general training in chemistry or physics, with scientifically oriented training in theoreticalchemistry, thus enabling you to carry out serious research work in this field, understand and properly use the wide range of existing programmes and generate new programmes, and use these tools for the design of materials in a wide range of fields.

This master'sdegree allows you to continue with the Inter-University Doctorate and is, therefore, the academic gateway for those who wish to enrol in a doctoral programme in this field and its different branches.
