MŠster Universitario en QuŪmica Teůrica y Modelizaciůn Computacional

The MŠster Universitario en QuŪmica Teůrica y Modelizaciůn Computacional is a two-year master's program offered by the Universidad de Salamanca, in collaboration with other Spanish universities. The program aims to provide students with advanced training in theoretical chemistry and computational modeling, enabling them to pursue research and development careers in academia, industry, or government.

Presentaciůn

The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of theoretical chemistry and computational modeling, including the principles of quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics. The curriculum includes courses on quantum chemistry, molecular modeling, and computational methods, as well as specialized courses on topics such as materials science, biochemistry, and nanotechnology.

Competencias

The program is designed to develop the following competencies in students:

• CB6: Poseer y comprender conocimientos que aporten una base u oportunidad de ser originales en el desarrollo y/o aplicaciůn de ideas, a menudo en un contexto de investigaciůn.
