Chemistry with Computing University of Bristol

Overview

The Chemistry with Computing prorgamme from University of Bristol  offers a unique combination of units and projects, incorporating coding, machine learning and high-performance computing, as well as fundamental concepts in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and applications in analytical, environmental, materials and theoretical chemistry. In this course programme, state-of-the-art computational methods are taught through examples drawn from the physical sciences; we call this 'scientific computing'.

Key Features

The course  is suited to you if you want to gain a solid foundation for a career in coding, scientific computing, data analysis, the chemical industry or research. You will learn to design experiments, interpret results and apply computing skills to problems in chemistry. You will also take units in mathematics, develop your communication and presentation skills, and work on group projects, researching and addressing problems faced in different sectors.

The course builds toward an independent research project. You will collaborate with our leading academics and their research teams who are experts in computing and chemistry to address a current problem in chemistry. For example, you may consider global warming, antibiotic resistance or improving the fundamental understanding of chemical reactions.

You'll be part of one of the biggest groups of computational chemists in the country. Units will be taught by experts in fundamental chemistry, computational chemistry, scientific computing and research software engineering; the application of your computing skills in chemistry will be emphasised throughout the programme.
