What it isChemical biology combines chemistry and biology to study how molecules work inside living things — particularly how drugs and other chemical compounds interact with cells and organisms. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses alongside the science, useful if you're interested in the commercial or leadership side of biotech companies. This program suits you if you enjoy both chemistry and biology equally and want to understand life processes at the molecular level, or if you're considering roles beyond pure research.You study science subjects like biology, chemistry, or physics alongside accounting and finance courses, learning how to apply scientific knowledge to financial decision-making and business problems. Unlike a straight science degree, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your studies, alternating between school and jobs. This suits people who want a science background but are drawn to business applications and need real-world work experience before graduating.You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
