• Chemistry is a modern, dynamic and diverse field that involves investigating the substances that make up our physical world and how they change. Chemistry touches everything we come into contact with. It is connected to almost all areas of science and engineering.
  • For example, chemists play a vital role in developing new drugs, understanding and modifying biological processes, and making materials for advanced electronic devices.
  • This program is offered in English and in French.
  • Chemists are also important players in such diverse areas as genetic engineering, forensic science, and the oil and gas industry. More recently, chemists have been at the forefront of nanotechnology and emerging green technologies, particularly in the development of sustainable energy sources. 
  • The Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences at the Faculty of Science offers chemistry, biochemistry, and biopharmaceutical science programs with unique options in medicinal chemistry, genomics, advanced materials chemistry, eco chemistry and chemical biology.
