What it isPhysics is the study of how matter, energy, and forces work at every scale, from tiny particles to the whole universe. This program includes mathematics and some biology courses alongside core physics content. You'll have the option to do a paid work term as part of your degree, giving you real laboratory or industry experience alongside your studies.You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine.An Honours Science degree lets you study a science subject deeply — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, or another physical science — and choose your own focus within it. Unlike a general science program, an Honours degree requires a concentrated major and typically includes a research or capstone component. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in science-related jobs, which suits people who want real workplace experience alongside their degree.
