What you study	Chemistry	Chemistry	Biological Sciences Chemistry Forensic & Archaeological Sciences
What it is	You study the chemistry of living things at the molecular level, learning how proteins, DNA, and other molecules work inside cells and organisms. This is more focused on biological systems than a straight chemistry program, and more chemistry-heavy than a general biology degree. It suits students who want to understand disease, drug development, or cellular processes and are comfortable with both chemistry and biology at an advanced level.	Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and biology to understand how life works at a molecular level. This co-op program includes work terms where you apply what you are learning in paid jobs with employers, giving you real workplace experience alongside your studies. It suits students who want a science degree with both theory and hands-on professional experience, and who are interested in how molecules, reactions, and life interconnect.	Forensic Sciences combines biology, chemistry, and investigative techniques to examine physical evidence from crime scenes and build cases for law enforcement. It differs from a straight chemistry or biology degree by training you specifically to analyze evidence like DNA, toxins, fibres, and trace materials in a criminal justice context. This program suits students who want to work in labs supporting police investigations and courts, rather than in pure research or clinical settings.
