Theory and Simulation in Chemistry

Recommended Prerequisites

Complete 1st and 2nd cycles.

Teaching Methods

With the view to develop in students the capacity for a modern interpretation of physical and chemical phenomena based on theories and computational tools, the course will be organized in classes and conferences delivered by specialists in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry and seminars presented by the students.

Learning Outcomes

Promote knowledge on modern concepts in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. Stimulate self-learning capability through preparation of seminars by the students.

Work Placement(s)

No

Syllabus
