Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemistry and Physics (Co-op)

Program Overview

Chemistry
Chemistry is a fundamental science that helps us understand the building blocks of matter and life. Chemists work to discover new materials and processes that can improve our lives.
As a student interested in chemistry, you can enroll in programs and courses in all the main areas of chemistry, including analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, theoretical and environmental chemistry.

State-of-the-Art Facilities
As a student in our first-year Chemistry courses, you will be able to conduct your lab work in Carleton’s state-of-the-art Superlab. Extensive lab experience is offered, helping you to round out your studies with practical experience.

Award-Winning Faculty
Award-winning teachers deliver courses that offer a combination of interactive lectures, laboratory work, field-based experiential learning opportunities.

Concentrations
Concentrations in Nanotechnology and Chemical Toxicology are available.

Work Experience
A Co-op option is available. Co-op is the opportunity to get a head start on a career. Co-op work terms allow for the development of key employability skills, exploration of career options and graduation with tangible, workplace experience.

Physics
What happened to anti-matter after the big bang? What is the origin of mass in the universe? What are the fusion nuclear reactions in the core of the sun? What gives a particular material super-conducting properties? Physics is the study of the most basic building blocks of matter, from the smallest particles to the largest structures of the universe, from the beginning to the end. Engage in subatomic and medical physics.
An Applied Physics (Honours) and a professionally accredited Engineering Physics (BEng) program are also available.

Streams
Our Physics (Honours) has three streams: Astrophysics, Experimental, and Theory; or can be combined with Biology, Chemistry or Mathematics.

Capital Advantage
Our department’s location in the nation’s capital places you within the highest concentration of scientific and technical expertise in the country, providing unparalleled access to both personnel and technical facilities.

Work Experience
A Co-op option is available. Through Co-op, students have an opportunity to apply academic studies to a real work environment as well as to explore various career possibilities. Placements are available at local high-tech companies, government laboratories or health care institutions in the Ottawa region and beyond.

Exceptional Faculty
Our faculty is actively engaged in intensive research in particle physics and medical physics. You’ll benefit from their expertise, passion and experiences and have opportunities to work alongside them in your capstone research project.
