| General objectives of the program |
Systematic understanding of a field of study and mastery of research skills and methods related to that field.
Knowing how to develop in contexts where little specific information exists.
Being able to conceive, design or create, implement and adopt a substantial research or creative process.
Know how to find the key questions to be answered in order to solve a complex problem.
Ability to contribute to the expansion of the frontiers of knowledge through original research.
Being able to carry out critical analysis, evaluation and synthesis of new and complex ideas.
Ability to integrate knowledge, deal with complexity and formulate hypotheses with limited information.
Be able to work both in a team and autonomously in an international or multidisciplinary context.
Ability to communicate with the academic and scientific community and with society in general about their fields of knowledge in terms of registers and languages commonly used in their international scientific community.
Being able to promote, in academic and professional contexts, scientific, technological, social, artistic or cultural progress in a knowledge-based society. |

| Specific requirements and criteria for admission to the doctoral program and applicant merit rating |
Candidates who meet the general requirements listed above will be eligible for admission to the programme. The Academic Coordination Committee for the doctoral programme in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (see Section 5.2) will examine the applications and assess the following aspects and merits. The percentage given in brackets is the specific weighting given to each of the admission criteria.
' The grades obtained for the bachelor's or master's degree used for admission (55%).
' Publications in journals and conference papers, particularly those on topics related to the master's dissertation (15%).
' Official accreditation of English-language skills. A minimum level of B2 is recommended (10%).
' Letters of reference by two lecturers who are not involved in the doctoral programme, but have taught the student (10%).
' Other relevant merits, as indicated in the curriculum vitae (10%).
In accordance with current regulations on doctoral studies at the participating universities, candidates may be admitted to the doctoral programme as part-time students. The criteria and admission procedures for students who choose this mode of study are exactly the same as those for full-time students. Students may change from part-time to full-time study or vice-versa, subject to approval by the Academic Coordination Committee.
Candidates should hold a bachelor's degree in chemistry, physics, materials science or another related area. They should have obtained at least 60 credits for the master's degree in Theoretical Chemistry and Computer Modelling, the master's degree in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, or a research-oriented master's degree in the field of chemistry, physics or materials science that has substantial theoretical content. The majority of incoming students will hold one of the above master's degrees. Nevertheless, some students will hold other research-oriented master's degrees taught at the participating universities. If the Academic Coordination Committee considers that the candidate's previous training is insufficient for the doctoral programme, specific bridging courses may be set.
Admission of students with special educational needs
The admissions systems and procedures cater for students with special educational needs. In addition, each university has dedicated support services for students with special educational needs resulting from a disability. In accordance with Royal Decree 1892/2008, of 14 November, on the conditions for accessing official university courses and admission procedures for Spanish public universities, 5% of places are set aside for students with a recognized degree of disability equal to or above 33%, and for students with ongoing special education needs resulting from personal disability that required specific resources and support during pre-university education.
The Academic Coordination Committee will carefully evaluate applications from candidates with specific educational needs resulting from a disability. During the admissions procedure, the specific support mechanisms for each candidate will be defined and potential adaptations to the curriculum will be analysed on an individual basis.
Given the importance of promoting the participation of women and people from minority groups in science and technology professions, the doctoral programme follows the guidelines and principles of the Human Resources Strategy for Researchers, in compliance withthe European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. |

| Salidas profesionales |
Computational modelling at the molecular level has established itself over the last 20 years as a tool that cuts across many areas of knowledge, from biochemistry to new materials, including all disciplines of chemistry and other emerging disciplines such as nanoscience. Theoretical and Computational Chemistry has the capacity to predict with high accuracy and low cost the results of many experimental measurements, while allowing to understand observations at a fundamental level and to lead the way to new discoveries.
Therefore, Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling have become mandatory tools in experimental sciences today. This has led to an increasing demand for experts in these fields. This demand comes not only from the academic world, but also from industry, where more and more companies see in molecular scale modelling a tool that allows rapid progress in the synthesis of new multifunctional materials, as well as reducing costs both in obtaining these materials and in the study of their properties. |
