Bachelor of Science - Computational Chemistry

Computational chemistry uses computers and software to model the behaviour and properties of chemical systems, from individual atoms to the large proteins found in living things. These models lead to the design of molecules for new drugs and materials in medicine, and new ways to store and transport energy and information.

The Department of Chemistry has state-of-the-art spectroscopic and other analytical instrumentation as well as the high performance computer facilities of ACEnet. Memorial University also has an extensive computing facilities for chemistry majors and honours students.

A bachelor of science degree, with a major in computational chemistry, prepares students for a variety of careers including:

• crystallography • database development • environmental science • scientific software developers • research associate • geosciences • forensics

Direct admission to this major is not available at the time of application. Students must complete certain first-year courses and may need to meet minimum grade requirements before applying to the major.
