| What it is | Chemistry is the study of matter, reactions, and how substances interact and change. This program lets you choose between a standard four-year degree or a co-op option that includes paid work terms at companies or labs, giving you real workplace experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who enjoy hands-on experimentation and problem-solving with chemicals and materials, and who want either a direct path to further study or early exposure to chemistry careers. | You study how living cells work at the molecular level and how to use that knowledge to develop new medicines, materials, and industrial processes. This program combines pure chemistry with applied biotechnology, so you spend time both in theory and on practical applications that companies actually use. It includes a required co-op work term, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. This suits students who want hands-on lab work and are curious about bridging basic science with real-world problem-solving. | This program trains you to teach science — biology, chemistry, or computer science — at the middle and intermediate school levels in French-language schools. You earn your Bachelor of Science and teaching qualification simultaneously by combining science courses with education coursework, rather than studying science first and then adding teacher training afterward. It suits students who are fluent in French, strong in science, and committed to teaching younger students. |
