Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

We have some of the most advanced equipment in the field. While other schools often reserve the newest equipment exclusively for research, all of Brock’s facilities are used for both teaching and research.Our commitment to hands-on learning makes our graduates especially skilled and adept scientists. You’ll be a key partner in our research activities, participating in special research courses and paid summer research. You might even have the opportunity to co-author a publication.Our programs stress chemical principles and practice through research in organic, inorganic, analytical, physical and theoretical chemistry, with a strong emphasis on the interdisciplinary fields of bio-inorganic and bio-organic chemistry and chemical biophysics. Research interests of the department include development of new chiral ligands, organometallic reagents, methods for asymmetric synthesis, green chemistry as well as protein affinity labelling and protein-lipid interactions, and structure-activity correlations of anticancer pharmaceuticals. Other interests include ligand design and crystal engineering aimed at self-assembly of novel molecule-based materials, design of new ligand platforms for low oxidation state main-group compounds, advanced laser spectroscopy and microscopy; novel nanostructured materials synthesis, organic matter characterization and trace contaminant analysis. Theoretical research focuses on studies to understand charge and energy transfer reactions in photosynthetic proteins.

International Secondary School Student General admission requirements: Senior Secondary school credential appropriate for entry to university in your home country; Academically rigorous grade 12 year Prerequisites required for your program must be taken at the Grade 12 university-preparatory level (or equivalent) and are the highest level of secondary studies available in your final year of secondary school. You may be required to submit course outlines so Admissions can determine if a prerequisite meets the rigorous academic standard required for admissibility.
