Computer chemistry is a new branch of chemistry promoting the use of computers
and information technology. Its role is apparent in the field of drug design,
development of nanotechnologies and new materials, and the replacement of classic
experimentation with computer simulations. The aim of this program is to educate
specialists with a deep understanding of chemistry, who are able to solve chemistryrelated
problems and who are familiar with computer programming and different
operating systems, computers and network architectures.
A graduate:
− has knowledge in computational chemistry and practical instrumental chemistry;
− can properly apply computation techniques to solve chemical problems using computers;
− has knowledge about the design and functioning of computer systems and networks;
− can program in one commonly used programming language, system and network
programming;
− can code chemical structures, use simple molecular editors and analyze data
obtained from chemoinformatic methods;
− can use scientific databases including the library of literature in chemistry.
