| What it is | 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. | You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine. | 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.
