What it is	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.	Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and biology to understand how life works at a molecular level. This co-op program includes work terms where you apply what you are learning in paid jobs with employers, giving you real workplace experience alongside your studies. It suits students who want a science degree with both theory and hands-on professional experience, and who are interested in how molecules, reactions, and life interconnect.	Psychology is the study of how people think, feel, and behave, and why they do what they do. At Glendon, you can specialize in areas like forensic psychology, human resources, or education. The iBSc option lets you complete part of your degree in another country while maintaining bilingual instruction throughout, which is different from the regular BSc. This program suits students curious about human behaviour who want flexibility in choosing a specialization within psychology.
