There is a growing need by industry for staff trained in computational molecular sciences. This new multidisciplinary MSc will teach simulation tools used in a wide range of applications, including catalysis and energy materials, nanotechnology and drug design, and will provide transferable skills to other fields, thereby broadening employment prospects.

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 a research project (90 credits), a literature review (30 credits), and four taught modules (15 credits each): "Simulation Methods in Materials Chemistry", "Frontiers in Materials Modelling", "Transferable Skills for Scientists" and a choice of three topics within "Topics in Modern Chemistry" to create a bespoke module tailored uniquely to their own interests.

Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MSc in Molecular Modelling.
