| What it is | A Chemistry degree teaches you the theory and practice of how substances interact, break down, and combine. You'll study pure chemistry alongside molecular biology and biochemistry, giving you a broader foundation than a straight chemistry program. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, so you can test whether lab or industrial chemistry work suits you before graduating. | This program combines science study with teacher education, so you earn qualifications to teach science in secondary school while completing your degree. Unlike a regular science degree followed by teacher training, you work toward both goals at the same time, with coursework in science disciplines alongside education theory and practice teaching. It suits students who know they want to teach and want to study science deeply rather than broadly. | A Bachelor of Science Honours is a four-year degree where you specialize in one science discipline — such as biology, chemistry, environmental studies, or nutrition — and take supporting courses in math and other sciences. The honours designation means you complete a research project or thesis in your final year. Many students choose the optional co-op stream, which alternates study terms with paid work placements in related fields, giving you practical experience alongside classroom learning. This program suits students who want depth in a single science and are interested in research, lab work, or professional roles in health, environment, or industry. |
