As a PhD student in chemistry, I found Stanmore's Certificate in Computational Chemistry to be an invaluable resource. The course was well-structured, and I appreciated the real-world examples and practical exercises. I gained a solid understanding of density functional theory and how to use Gaussian software, which has been a game-changer for my research. Thank you, Stanmore!

I'm really happy I took Stanmore's computational chemistry course. It was challenging at times, but the instructors were always available to help. I learned a lot about molecular mechanics and how to build force fields, which has been really useful for my work in drug discovery. The course materials were high-quality and relevant, and I felt like I was getting a solid education in computational chemistry.
