What you study	Chemistry Forensic & Archaeological Sciences	Chemistry
What it is	You study the chemistry behind crime scene investigation, learning how to analyze physical evidence like drugs, explosives, blood, and fibres to help solve crimes. This combines practical chemistry with forensic science, so you'll do lab work tied directly to criminal investigations rather than studying chemistry in isolation. It suits people who want chemistry but also care about applying it to real-world detective work.	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.
