The path recommended for the doctoral programme is the development of the Undergraduate Degree in Chemistry, Physics or Material Sciences and the later development of one of the two following different degrees: the Master’s Degree in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling or the Master’s Degree in Theoretical and Computational Modelling.
In those cases in which students have completed an Undergraduate Degree or a Master’s different to those indicated by the academic committee could set the bridging courses that will be, in any case, the subjects of the first year of the master’s degrees mentioned up to a maximum of 30 credits.
In those cases in which the entry path is an undergraduate degree whose duration is 300 ECTS, and no master’s degree have been completed, the development of these bridging courses will be compulsory, except if the corresponding curriculum includes research training credits.
In all cases the doctoral studies academic committee will decide which bridging courses should be developed by each student depending on their academic record.
The subjects of the first year of the Master’s degree mentioned focus on:
- Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
- Statistical Mechanics and simulation applications
- Symmetry in atoms, molecules and solids
- Computational Techniques and Numerical Calculation
- Methods of Theoretical Chemistry I
- Methods of Theoretical Chemistry II
These subjects can be developed at local level or in intensive courses jointly organised by the Participating Universities
