Mestrado em Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling - Lisboa - Lisboa - Lisboa - Universidade de Lisboa - I21904

Complementar e alargar os conhecimentos adquiridos no 1º ciclo, fomentando o trabalho original no desenvolvimento e concretização de ideias num contexto de investigação, aumentando as competências que definem um bom profissional na área da Química Teórica e Computacional (tecnologia/indústria e serviços), e permitindo atingir o patamar necessário a um 3º ciclo (PhD). As saídas profissionais englobam a investigação fundamental e aplicada, com uma forte aceitação actual na tecnologia/indústria a nível internacional. O Curso de mestrado em Química Teórica e Modelação Computacional / European Master in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (with EuroMaster® Label) é um projecto, cuja estruturação se iniciou em 2004, envolvendo cerca de 46 Instituições Universitárias pertencentes a 8 Países Europeus. Insere-se no quadro da Declaração de Bolonha, preenchendo os requisitos dos 2ºs Ciclos. O 2º ano, tem um cariz essencialmente internacional, procurando-se a rotatividade pelas diferentes Instituições do Consórcio. A respectiva parte lectiva avançada será realizada por especialistas dessas Instituições.

Access Requirements Access requirements: Bachelor in Chemistry, Physics or Material Science, or any equivalent level if authorized by the legislation of the corresponding European Country. Other scientific bachelors can be accepted, provided the student takes complementary levelling courses, under the supervision of his local Tutor. Internationally recognised English proficiency certificate equivalent to a TOEFL score of minimum 500/213, or an IELTS score of 6 For students coming from third countries or having a Bachelor different from those mentioned above, the possession of the following (or equivalent) subjects at the level of the Chemistry Eurobachelor needs to be certified: Chemical Bonding, atomic and molecular structure and intermolecular interactions General physics Mathematics General Physical Chemistry Thermodynamics and kinetics Spectroscopy Some deficiencies may be remedied through the levelling course. However, if there are deficiencies in more than two of the aforementioned areas, the applicant will not be accepted. To guarantee homogenous evaluation of these requirements, the cases of applicants coming from third countries or from bachelors different from the aforementioned ones will be handled by the International Committee.

Mestre

The TCCM Master is articulated in 120 ECTS credits and can be accessed by students having a Bachelor in Chemistry, in Physics or in Material Science. Other scientific bachelors can also be accepted (provided that the student integrates his/her preparation as recommended by the local Tutor). The first year of the Master (M1) will be taken at the student's home Institution, and will be devoted to providing the student with a background in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling as well as in advanced aspects within the different areas of Chemistry. The second year of the Master, (M2) , has a clear International character. Along this period of time the student will acquire a solid background in advanced aspects of Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling as well as in their applications to the most important fields of modern Chemistry, Material Science and Biology. For this purpose all students that have passed M1 will take, compulsorily, a four-week Intensive Course that will be followed by tutorial work in the home Institution up to complete 24 ECTS credits. The second part of M2 will be devoted to an introduction to research, equivalent to 36 ECTS credits. Part of this research activity (the equivalent of 18 ECTS credits) has to be carried out abroad, in a host Institution of the Consortium of a country different from that of the home Institution. For this purpose, each student will undertake a research project, under the supervision of a local Tutor, and in close collaboration with his tutor at the host Institution. The Master will end with the defence of a Master Thesis.

The pivot institutions will coordinate the main areas of Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling, namely: Advanced Electronic Structure Theory (AEST) coordinated by Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse III , Molecular and Chemical dynamics (MCD) coordinated by Université de Bordeaux I, Advanced Computational Techniques (ACT) coordinated by the Università Degli Studi di Perugia, Computer Modelling and Simulation (CMS) coordinated by the University of Orebro, and Condensed Matter Theory (CMT) coordinated by the Universitat de Barcelona. The Universidad Autónoma de Madrid will act as the administrative co-ordinating Institution. All 47 participating Institutions in the consortium will contribute students and teachers to the Master, and will act as possible host Institutions for students coming from a different country during M2.
