| What it is | You study chemistry at the university level, learning how atoms and molecules work, react, and form substances. This program lets you do paid work terms at companies and labs alongside your courses, giving you real workplace experience in chemistry fields before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on learning and a chance to explore whether chemistry research, industry work, or another science career appeals to them. | 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. | Biochimie is the study of chemical processes inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and biology at the molecular level. You'll learn how proteins, enzymes, and other molecules work together to keep cells alive. This program includes a co-op work placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in labs or biotech companies, and it's taught in French. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
