The lecture describes and explains the influence of molecular structure and symmetry on the observed absorption or emission spectra. The rotational, vibrational and electronic spectra of diatomic and polyatomic molecules will be discussed, from the basics to the advanced parts including spin-orbital interaction and hyperfine structure. The course is aimed primarily at students of theoretical disciplines, but can also be useful for researchers / doctoral students with an experimental focus in the field of molecular spectroscopy. Intended for physics students, especially in the 1st year o
