What it isChemical biology is the study of how chemicals and molecules work inside living cells and organisms, blending chemistry and biology together. Unlike a straight chemistry or biology program, you focus specifically on the molecular level of life processes. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in the field. This suits people who want hands-on workplace learning and are curious about both how molecules behave and how life functions.Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.A Bachelor of Science is a four-year degree where you study science subjects in depth. You choose a major like Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physical Geography, or Psychology, and take courses across your field plus some complementary subjects. It suits students who want a broad science education and plan to work in research, industry, education, or graduate studies related to their major.
