Undergraduate Studies in Chemistry

Chemistry is the study of the structure and behaviour of molecules. You will work to develop the skill set to synthesize molecules with specific properties for use in areas such as pharmaceuticals, the nuclear industry and everything in between and beyond. You will also focus on the determination and characterization of trace chemicals in the environment using techniques for separation and spectroscopic analysis as well as explore the design of new materials applicable to the microelectronics industry. This major offers a co-operative education stream. To learn more, see CHEM Co-op Information.

This major combines the best of both worlds: the practical application of complex chemical methodology along with the biological sciences. Study unique subject areas such as analytical instrumentation and organic reactivity while also building your knowledge in biochemistry to create broad career outcomes. Further your lab skills by taking an optional semester at Seneca College in third year to gain hands-on training.

This interdisciplinary major will give you a strong foundation in the science disciplines relating to toxicology, drawing on the principles of biological and physical sciences. Improve health and welfare by learning about pharmacology, environmental toxicants, industrial chemicals and the impact on living beings. Your knowledge will span fields such as biomedical physiology, nutrition, environmental chemistry, pathology, statistics and culminate in your choice of a toxicology research project.
