Chemistry is the study of the properties of the fundamental building blocks of matter, ranging in size from single hydrogen atoms to complex aggregates of biologically important species. Chemists prepare new compounds and study their composition and structure. This activity, coupled with studies of the way in which chemical reactions occur, allows theories on chemical bonding and reaction to be formulated.
Chemistry can provide the foundation for interesting careers in medicine and medical laboratory work. It can also lead to a career in pharmaceutical design and innovation, or genetic research. Chemistry provides the strong background needed to research and develop discoveries in countless real-world materials, from plastics to foodstuffs to modern materials used in housing, transportation, and computer technology. |

Senior-year Mathematics, Chemistry and another approved science are required courses for admission to the B.Science program. An average of your marks in senior Math, Chemistry, and your best other science course must be at least 75%.
If you don’t meet the admission requirements for direct entry to the Bachelor of Science degree program, but offer a minimum admission average of 70%, you may be given conditional admission to the appropriate Faculty in an entrance program to the extent that capacity allows.
If you present only Chemistry, you’ll be considered at the discretion of the Faculty.
If you have high academic standing you may be considered for admission if you present any two of three grade 12 Sciences, e.g. Biology/Chemistry; Biology/Physics; Physics/ Chemistry, etc.
It is recommended that students who have not taken any mathematics courses for more than two years take MATH 1863 Precalculus before attempting MATH 1001 or MATH 1003.
Students with less than 75% in each of the PRECALCA120 and PRECALCB120 (or equivalent) may want to consider taking MATH 1863 Precalculus before attempting MATH 1001 or MATH 1003. |
