Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (Honours) (Co-Op)

Chemistry is the study of the structure and behavior of molecules. This includes the construction of molecules with specific properties for use in areas such as pharmaceuticals and the nuclear industry. You will also focus on the determination trace chemicals in the environment using specialized techniques for analysis and the design of new materials for the microelectronics industry.Chemistry co-op is a four and a half-year program, which includes four work terms. This co-op prepares students for their work terms by helping them develop professional attitudes and skills expected in the workplace as well as helping to build a toolkit of resume and cover letter writing as well as interview skills.Students will gain analytical and practical skills spanning the dynamic field of chemistry, coupled with learning in a state-of-the-art facility, preparing them for careers or more learning after graduation.Internationally renowned, award-winning faculty are always eager to discuss course material one-on-one with students. Learning centres are staffed by teaching assistants to help students with course and lab material.Focus on organic and inorganic synthesis as well as analytical, physical and theoretical chemistry, in addition to learning the environmental and health implications of scientific discovery and technological innovation.
