| Since its inception in 1965, the Department has justly earned a national and international reputation as one of the most multidisciplinary Chemistry departments in Canada. This, in large measure, arises from our location: situated along with the Departments of Biological Sciences and Physics in the G.M. Shrum Science Center and the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB). Numerous research projects are collaborative ventures with other faculty members from those Departments.
The aim of the graduate program in Chemistry at SFU is to attract the very best students and encourage their development into independent, high quality scholars while pursuing research in a personal, supportive and interdisciplinary environment. The Department offers programs leading to either the M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in analytical, biochemistry, organic, inorganic, nuclear, physical and theoretical chemistry, but also encourages studies at the interface of two or more subdisiplines. Entry requirements for these programs differ, as do their coursework and examination requirements.

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Students looking to enter the Ph.D. program should have M.Sc. degree, or its equivalent, from a recognized university with at minimum GPA of 3.5/4.33. In special circumstances, exceptionally able students with first-class B.Sc. degrees may be admitted directly to the Ph.D. program. Evidence is required to demonstrate that the applicant is capable of undertaking substantial original research (i.e. a copy of your B.Sc./M.Sc. thesis, particulars about research work over the past 18 months, who you have been affiliated with, copies of research reports or papers authored or co-authored).
