Play with atoms. Make molecules. Explore the building blocks of matter that are at the root of all sciences. Peer into the microscope for an intimate look at the behavior and energy of the tiniest elements in the universe. As a chemist, your mastery of chemical reactions could lead to the creation of environmentally friendly materials like compostable plastics or medications that fight disease. Concordia’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry features state-of-the-art labs and equipment introduce you to techniques used in the field. Small class sizes foster strong student–professor relationships. Chemistry and Biochemistry students follow a core curriculum and through labs, lectures and tutorials you will: receive a solid foundation in carbon-based (organic) and non-carbon (inorganic) chemistry; learn to identify compounds, analyze the structures they form, and study the mechanics and energetics of chemical reactions; receive extensive training in research methodology; perform original research as an undergraduate (honours and specialization students only). Our honours and specialization in Chemistry programs are accredited by the Ordre des chimistes du Quebec. Concentrations: Honours in Chemistry (60 credits); Specialization in Chemistry (60 credits); Major in Chemistry (45 credits); Minor in Chemistry (24 credits). The Chemistry Co-op program gives you the chance to complete paid work terms that last 12 to 16 weeks. As a Co-op student, you will work for firms where you may: develop new chemical processes used to make drugs; extract, purify and perform quantitative analysis on metabolites in biological samples; conduct tests to predict long-term performance of adhesives. An undergraduate degree in chemistry also paves the way for future graduate studies or can lead to a career in environmental science, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, biotechnology or government testing laboratories or chemical industries.
