This programme will teach you how to study complex processes within chemistry, and how computational science can contribute to knowledge development in society. Some examples of focus areas are environmental and climate change, climate adaptation, environmental protection and chemical risks, biodiversity and ecosystem services.
You will gain knowledge in how to use numerical simulations and machine learning to make forecasts and analyses, or to replace experiments. The programme gives you specialised knowledge in the field of computational science, while also being interdisciplinary in character.
In addition to theory for computational science, there will be an emphasis on the practical tools that are used by professionals in the field, including training your skills in programming. You will also get general knowledge and skills of importance for computationally intensive professions, such as problem formulation, information search, data processing, scientific writing, and presentation techniques.
The programme has strong ties to research. You will be taught by internationally well-recognised researchers, and you will be in contact with several research groups. The programme is offered in English.
