MSc Scholarships in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling

MSc Scholarships in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling.

The Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM) Master can be accessed by students having a Bachelor in Chemistry, in Physics or in Material Science or any equivalent.

The TCCM Master is spread over two years and corresponds to 120 ECTS credits.

The first year (M1) will be taken at the student’s home Institution, and will be devoted to providing the student with a background in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling as well as in advanced aspects within the different areas of Chemistry.

In the first year the student must attend courses and pass related exams for 60 ECTS credits.

These courses will provide the student with the background necessary to follow the second year of the Master, which has a marked International research character.

The second year (M2), mostly international, is devoted to courses and research activity in advanced aspects of Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling as well as in their applications to the most important fields of modern Chemistry, Material Science and Biology.

For this purpose all students will take, compulsorily, a four-week Intensive Course that will be followed by 10 weeks of tutorial work in the home Institution up to complete 30 ECTS credits.

The second part of M2 will be devoted to an introduction to research, equivalent to 30 ECTS credits.

Part of this research activity has to be carried out abroad, in a host Institution of the Consortium of a country different from that of the home Institution.

For this purpose, each student will undertake a research project, under the supervision of a local Tutor, and in close collaboration with his tutor at the host Institution.

The Master will end with the defence of a Master Thesis.
