What it isYou study the chemistry of living things — how molecules work in cells and bodies, and how drugs and toxins affect them. This program combines chemistry and biology more deeply than a general life sciences program, with added focus on how substances interact with organisms. It suits students curious about medicine, pharmacy, drug development, or toxicology who want a stronger chemical foundation than biology alone provides.This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.This program covers the study of living organisms and human behaviour, from genetics and microbiology to ecology, nutrition, and psychology. You'll choose a focus area like biological sciences, animal science, environmental studies, or psychology, and take courses that build on that specialization. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work in research labs, hospitals, or environmental organizations. It suits students curious about how life works at every scale, from cells to ecosystems to minds, and who want hands-on experience alongside theory.
