Even an educated guess could be useful. Thank you. E. Lewars ================= The replies, #1--#11 #1 Mon, 08 Apr 2002 16:43:47 -0700 (PDT) From: "J.

The same people teach a Graduate Diploma in Computational Chemistry, but awarded only by the Northern Territory University, comprising just the 2/3 internet units. This has been quite amazingly unsuccessful as we have had few students. For this reason and also because I formally retired on Dec 31st last year and one other member of the team is approaching retirement, we have discontinued both programs, but are still teaching continuing students. Our students are based in the US, Malaysia, Taiwan, England, Singapore, India and one from Australia. Have a look at:- http://lacebark.ntu.edu.au/msc/ Regards, Brian.

In Ireland Trinity College Dublin (www.tcd.ie) offers a BSc. in computational chemistry (and physics); in University College Dublin (www.ucd.ie) and at Dublin City University (www.dcu.ie) it is possible to do computational chemistry in the third and fourth years. hope this helps regards michael ******************************************************* Michael Nolan Computational Modelling, NMRC Lee Maltings, Prospect Row, Cork, IRELAND michael.nolan@nmrc.ie; http://www.nmrc.ie/research/computational-modelling-group/index.html http://www.asdn.net Tel: + 353 21 4904113; Fax: +353 21 4270271 ******************************************************** ------------- #6 We offer a dual-level course in Chemical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati each year that receives very high enrollment (typically 30-40).

The Universities involved are Euskal Herriko Unibersitatea, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Universitat de Barcelona, Universidad de Cantabria, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Extremadura, Universitat de Girona, Universidad de Granada, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Universitat Jaume I, Universidad de Oviedo, Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad de Sevilla, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Universitat de València, and Universidad de Valladolid. See for instance: http://www.udg.edu/publicacions/doctorat/2001-2002/spa/quimica.pdf and http://www.udg.edu/publicacions/doctorat/2000-2001/pdf/17Qumica.pdf Best regards, Miquel -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Dr. Miquel Solà Departament de Química i Institut de Química Computacional Universitat de Girona Campus Montilivi 17071 Girona, CATALONIA (Spain) Phone: +(34).972.41.89.12 Cellular-Phone: +(34).626.16.35.80 FAX: +(34).972.41.83.56 World Wide Web: http://iqc.udg.es/~miquel/mike.html e-mail: miquel.sola@udg.es -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* --------------- #8 From: Gemma Kinsella Hi, Theres a 4 year comp chem/physics course in Trinity College Dublin as well, students can specialise in the 3rd year and chose either physics or chemistry as their major then. Hope that helps a little, Gemma ------------------- #9 I have no idea how many universities offer such a course, but Brock has one on the graduate level titled: Computational Chemisty: Applications in Biotechnology. This course is CHEM 5P14 crosslisted as BTEC 5P14. We don't have such a course on the undergraduate level, ignoring the third year course in quantum chemistry which has nothing on force fields and the like. Yours sincerely Stuart M. Rothstein, Professor of Chemistry and Physics, Director, Brock "Institute" for Scientific Computation (B"I"SC), Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, L2S 3A1 CANADA srothste@abacus.ac.brocku.ca http://chemiris.labs.brocku.ca/~chemweb/faculty/rothstein/ ------------------ #10 From: Johannes Weber Hi, some time ago I searched in the WWW for universities with a theoretical chemistry department. There was a webpage of the german academic exchange service (DAAD) where you had to fill in a form and got the universities back out of a database. I suppose this must be available in other languages/countries, too. Alas, I don´t remember the URL but probably google and friends will give you this information. After filtering out the universities teaching theoretical chemistry you may have a look at the department´s webpage for the courses in computational chemistry. (I guess, nearly every Theor. Chem. Dept. offers a course.) Hope it helps, :-)ohannes PS: This information would also be of interest for me. If you find a complete list, would you be so kind and summarize it ? ----------------------- #11 From: ysabnis@yahoo.com Hello Elewars, Our university offers 2 courses in molecular modeling. One is QSAR and the other is basics in molecular modeling. I am a graduate student at the University of Mississippi. Let me know if you need any other help. cheeers!
