Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (Honours) (Co-op)

University of Waterloo

Chemistry is a diverse discipline, involving substances in every aspect of life what we see, eat, smell, touch, and taste every day. With an equal emphasis on theory and practical work, Waterloo's Chemistry program prepares you for a growing number of dynamic career options. You could be searching for the roots of crippling diseases, designing cancer fighting drugs, optimizing sustainable energy storage systems, creating quantum devices for sensing, or developing new computational methods. Fire up the Bunsen burners in one of Canada’s top 10 chemistry programs. You’ll study everything from organic chemistry and analytical chemistry to polymer chemistry, nanoscience, and more. You can specialize in computational chemistry to study the fundamental properties of atoms, molecules, and reactions using quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. You'll learn to solve chemical problems using computer modelling and simulations.
