Undergraduate
Students can pursue their studies through the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Chemistry program, or choose to specialize in either Pharmaceutical Chemistry or Chemical Biology.
Program Options
-
Chemistry
The Honours Chemistry program covers all major fields of chemistry, including physical, analytical, organic, inorganic and biological. Students benefit from the development of a strong foundational knowledge, and the ability to further their subject-specific understanding through upper-year elective courses.
Courses beyond the first year include:
- Biochemistry
- Inorganic Chemistry: Transition Metals and Main Group Elements
- Molecular Structure Determination from Spectroscopic Data
- Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy
- Thermodynamics and Kinetics

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Specialization
Pharmaceutical Chemistry combines the study of drug discovery and development, pharmacology, analytical techniques and drug chemistry. The primary focus of this specialization is the chemical design process and evaluation of potential future medications. This specialization teaches students how to apply their knowledge from course material, hands-on laboratory experience and faculty research to the pharmaceutical industry.
Courses in this specialization include:- Advanced Topics in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
- Advanced Topics in Pharmaceutical Chemistry
- Bio-Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology
- Introductory Medicinal Chemistry
- Human Physiology
- Pharmaceutical Discovery
- Principles of Pharmacology and Toxicology

Chemical Biology Specialization
Chemical Biology, at the interface of chemistry and biology, is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing interdisciplinary areas in science. Through the synthesis and use of small molecules, probes or chemically-modified biological macromolecules, chemistry is applied to help answer questions of biological importance.
Courses in this specialization include:
- Advanced Biochemistry
- Advanced Organic Chemistry
- Advanced Topics in Chemical Biology
- Bio-Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology
- Cell Biology
- Genetics and Molecular Biology
