| What it is | Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions that happen inside living cells and organisms. You learn how molecules like proteins and DNA work at the chemical level, combining organic chemistry with molecular biology. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work terms at research labs or biotech companies, while the regular stream keeps you on campus full-time. | 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. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
