What it isYou study the structure and behaviour of atoms, molecules, and reactions: how substances interact, break down, and transform. Unlike a general science degree, this is a focused program in chemistry alone, and includes a mandatory co-op term where you work in a lab or industry setting. It suits students who enjoy hands-on lab work and want practical experience alongside theory before entering chemistry, materials, or pharmaceutical careers.This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
