What it is	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.	Forensic Sciences combines biology, chemistry, and investigative techniques to examine physical evidence from crime scenes and build cases for law enforcement. It differs from a straight chemistry or biology degree by training you specifically to analyze evidence like DNA, toxins, fibres, and trace materials in a criminal justice context. This program suits students who want to work in labs supporting police investigations and courts, rather than in pure research or clinical settings.	You study the chemistry behind crime scene investigation, learning how to analyze physical evidence like drugs, explosives, blood, and fibres to help solve crimes. This combines practical chemistry with forensic science, so you'll do lab work tied directly to criminal investigations rather than studying chemistry in isolation. It suits people who want chemistry but also care about applying it to real-world detective work.
