As a student in our Chemical Sciences program, you will discover the common thread of chemistry as it exists within all sciences. You can choose to complete your degree through coursework and a thesis (Thesis stream) or through coursework and a critical review essay (Critical Essay stream). Thesis Stream - In the Thesis stream, you will work on an original research project under the guidance of a professor. The work is presented in a written format (the thesis) and an oral defence. Critical Essay Stream - The Critical Essay stream requires that you write an original critical review of the literature on a specific topic, also under the guidance of a professor. Here as well, the work is presented by the students in a written format and orally. Our small class size provides unique opportunities, such as paid teaching assistantships and the use of research-grade equipment. Our graduates go on to pursue careers in health professions, R&D and quality control for various industries, science communication, education, and many others. The Chemical Sciences MSc program is offered only in English.
