The lecture introduces students to the basic concepts, models and methods of molecular modeling (with the main emphasis on quantum chemistry) at a level that would allow students to apply these methods to solve specific problems. In addition to theory, students learn to work with quantum-chemical software. The lecture is intended especially for students who want to deal with molecular modeling.

The exam can be taken by a student who will present processed examples from exercises.

The exam consists of a written part and an oral part in the extent of the subject matter (see syllabus). In the eventuality of continuing Covid-19 restrictions, the exam will be taken orally online.

Distance learning is provided through the Zoom application, lectures with presentations are pre-recorded with links provided via email. Online consultations are also provided via the Zoom application, where the material from the lectures is discussed.
