Quantum Chemistry

About this programme

The aim of the course is to give a detailed understanding of molecular orbital theory with research-level applications. During the course, basic and advanced methods in quantum chemistry are presented. An important part of the course is the practical computer exercises, in which you get hands-on experience with simple quantum chemical calculations, such as Hartree-Fock and density functional theory. Furthermore, you learn how to approach a chemical reaction from a quantum chemical perspective by determining potential minima, transition states, force constants, zero-point energy, and other relevant reaction parameters. This is a second cycle course given at half speed during daytime. This course can also be taken as a third cycle course. The teaching consists of seminars, group education, and obligatory computer-based exercises. The course is examined through a final written and oral examination, and through written and oral presentation of the computer-based exercises. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities. To explore city and countryside. In Stockholm you can really get the best of both worlds. Here we explain all the different steps you need to go through when applying to a course or programme. Stockholm University arranges regular webinars and participates in educational fairs and events virtually and around the world to meet students and inform them about our study programmes. Every year Stockholm University welcomes thousands of international students from all over the world. Each bringing their own backpack full of experience
