Bachelor of Science in Chemical Physics

About this programme

The chemical physics program allows you to expand the knowledge of materials science and quantum mechanics of molecules. There is an emphasis on lab work and recognition of the links between the two disciplines, such as the use of X-ray diffraction to determine molecular structure. Our supportive faculty and instructors help you learn new concepts every step of the way. By studying atomic chemistry and physical techniques, you'll be able to conduct research, contribute and assess scientific literature and gather data for analysis in various fields. Foster a broad skillset through subjects in analytical chemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics and apply computational methods to study matter. You will have access to some of the world's most respected scientists and researchers in a high-tech setting, and to a wide variety of possible careers in industry, government or academia. Acquire exceptional practical skills through labs, while having the opportunity to complete a research component with a faculty member in either chemistry or physics.
