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.	You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.
