计算化学是基于计算机的方法对化学问题的应用。从设计用于药物的新分子到通过考虑原子和分子结构来解释反应和特性的机制，范围不等。计算化学在现代化学和工程领域中日益重要的作用要求对化学和计算原理有深刻理解的合格候选人。此新程序旨在提供这些技能，并提供整合化学和计算方面的课程，并从理论，实践和计算的角度介绍原子和分子结构，反应性和光谱学的核心概念。
Computational chemistry is the application of computer based methods to chemical problems. This ranges from designing new molecules for drug applications to explaining the mechanisms of reactions and properties by consideration of atomic and molecular structure. The increasing role for computational chemistry in the modern chemistry and engineering sectors requires qualified candidates that have strong understanding of both chemistry and computational principles. This new programme has been designed to provide these skills, with a curriculum that integrates chemical and computational aspects, and introduces core concepts of atomic and molecular structure, reactivity and spectroscopy from theoretical, practical and computational viewpoints. You'll develop skills in: software development and implementation, mathematical foundations of common computational methodologies, the use of industrial standard software packages to investigate chemical problems including solid-state materials, biological molecules, chemical reactions and to predict spectra, selecting suitable types of calculation to solve chemical problems, presenting reasoned arguments based on computational results to explain experimental findings and communicating chemical and computational ideas to different groups. You will be taught by leading research scientists in these fields, and on graduation you'll have the skills you need to make an impact in a variety of scientific fields. MChem Chemistry – Mathematical and Computational Chemistry is the only specialised undergraduate programme in computational chemistry in England and Wales.<br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – Students will continue to be offered a campus-centred experience through a blended approach to learning with both on-campus and online elements. Welcome week on campus will be w/c 28 September with teaching commencing w/c 5 October
