BA Chemistry with molecular modelling: Chemical Sciences

at Trinity College Dublin The University of Dublin

First and second years

You will study foundation courses in chemistry and mathematics and in either biology or physics.

Third and fourth years

In the third and fourth years you will take core modules in chemistry with additional modules in molecular modelling to include general molecular modelling, quantum mechanics, optimisation, modelling protein structure, drug design, molecular dynamics, and modelling in solid-state materials chemistry.

Lectures are complemented by laboratory classes where you will gain experience in more sophisticated preparative chemical techniques and spectroscopic analysis. About one third of your laboratory class time will be spent in computer laboratories performing computational experiments using molecular modelling.

As a fourth-year student you will undertake a Capstone research project, typically from September to December. This may be done in Trinity or in an academic or research laboratory abroad. This is complemented by lectures covering fundamental material in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. In addition, an extensive range of optional courses are also offered that allow each student to develop her/ his own particular interests.
