The Chemical Physics program allows students to expand the knowledge of materials science and quantum mechanics of molecules. There is an emphasis on laboratory work and recognition of the links between the two disciplines such as the use of X-ray diffraction to determine molecular structure. By studying atomic chemistry and physical techniques, they will be effectively able to conduct research, contribute and assess scientific literature and gather data for analysis in various fields. Students will foster a broad skillset through subjects in analytical chemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics and apply computational methods to study matter. Students 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. They will acquire exceptional practical skills through labs, while having the opportunity to complete a research component with a faculty member in either chemistry or physics.
