What it is	Environmental Chemistry is the study of chemical processes that happen in nature and how human activity affects them — from water pollution to atmospheric reactions to soil contamination. Unlike a pure chemistry degree, it combines lab work with environmental science, so you learn both the chemistry itself and why it matters for ecosystems and human health. It suits people who want a science degree but care about real-world environmental problems rather than working only in industrial or research settings.	Life Sciences is a broad study of how living things work, from individual cells and genetics to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll choose a focus area like microbiology, human biology, genetics, or plant science, and take courses across biology, chemistry, and related fields. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
