What it isYou study the chemistry of how drugs work in the body and how to develop and test new medications. This program requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your courses at pharmaceutical companies or research labs, giving you real industry experience before you graduate. It suits people who want hands-on experience in drug development and are comfortable alternating between school and workplace every few months.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.
