Course summary

The information provided on this page was correct at the time of publication (November 2023). For complete and up-to-date information about this course, please visit the relevant University of Oxford course page via www.graduate.ox.ac.uk/ucas. The three primary activities in theoretical and computational chemistry are development of new theory, implementation of methods as reliable software, and application of such methods to a host of challenges in chemical and related sciences. The MSc aims to train new research students to be able to deliver these outcomes. The MSc consists of a set of training modules and a short project. The compulsory core modules are:

  • Mathematics
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Introduction to Programming
  • Statistics
  • Methods of computer simulation
  • Electronic structure theory
  • Software Development.
You will also select a number of optional courses (currently five), which may include:
  • Applied Computational Chemistry
  • Biomolecular Simulation
  • Mathematics II
  • Quantum Mechanics in Condensed Phases
  • Intermolecular Potentials
  • Chemical Informatics
  • Reaction Dynamics
  • Advanced Quantum Mechanics
  • Advanced Statistical Mechanics.
Each module consists of several lectures/classes and a piece of assessed coursework. In addition, you will also be required to undertake one short project with an allocated supervisor. This typically takes a few weeks in either the Easter or Summer vacations. A list of possible supervisors and projects will be provided to select a topic from.
