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.	This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries.

Same subject area and a similar published range, at a campus you have not got in the table yet.

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.
