Program Overview

Chemistry is known as the central science because it lies between Physics and Mathematics on the one hand, and Biological and Earth Sciences on the other. It is concerned with matter and how it changes. As a chemist, you will study the structure, composition, behaviour, and energetics of substances. You will explore what happens when atoms and molecules react, and try to understand the underlying changes that occur. You will observe phenomena in the world around us, and your discoveries could impact our everyday lives.
