Interuniversity Master Degree
XRQTC
Theoretical Chemistry has become an indispensable complementary tool for research in the field of chemistry today. Starting out from physics applicable to atoms and molecules, and thanks to the spectacular developments in computing, theoretical chemistry today can not only interpret the behavior of numerous chemical systems but can also predict them reliably. That is why its use has surpassed the more academic field and has become a support for applied research in the leading industry fields, such as catalysis and pharmaceuticals.
The Interuniversity Master Degree in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (MQTC) aims to offer acces to scientific knowledge in the broad field of Theoretical Chemistry, and obtain a qualification through a rigorous research project, learn to use the extensive set of computer programs available and to use these tools for designing a broad spectrum of materials. The Master provides an educational opening for students who wish to pursue a doctorate in any of its diverse branches of this field.
Content
The MQTC consists of 60 ECTS credits, according to the Spanish estructure of Bachelor's degree. Once passed their subjects, the student reaches a total of 300 credits that give access to doctoral studies in accordance to EEES's principles.
For students who come from countries with Bachelor degrees of 180 credits, it provides appropriate training accessories also to allow students to reach the 300 credits once the MQTC is finished.
The 60 ECTS credits of MQTC are structured in two modules, one of 30 credits with specific contents of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, compulsory and optional, and a second one of 30 credits also, which consists in conducting a research project in the heart of one research group of the network.
