Program Overview

Introduction to Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling

The Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM) programme is a comprehensive academic training initiative that encompasses two primary academic tracks: a Master's and a Doctorate. This programme is specifically designed to be completed over a two-year period and is offered through a consortium of seven esteemed European partner universities.

Programme Overview

The TCCM programme is tailored to equip students with the expertise necessary to utilize and develop computational techniques within the realm of molecular sciences. The primary objective of this Master's programme is to prepare students for lucrative careers in pivotal sectors such as pharmaceutical innovation, the petrochemical industry, and the burgeoning new materials industry. Furthermore, this programme serves as a foundational stepping stone for students aspiring to pursue doctoral studies in disciplines including chemistry, physics, and life and material sciences.
