化学研究涵盖与生命和环境科学相关的广泛主题
Chemistry is a diverse discipline, involving substances in every aspect of life what we see, eat, smell, touch, and taste every day. With an equal emphasis on theory and practical work, Waterloo's Chemistry undergraduate and graduate programs prepare you for a growing number of dynamic career options. You could be searching for the roots of crippling diseases, developing cancer-fighting drugs, or assessing environmental damage. Research in chemistry encompasses a broad range of topics relevant to life and environmental sciences, to the development of new materials and nanotechnology, but also to improving our fundamental understanding of the world surrounding us. The M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs in Chemistry and Biochemistry at Waterloo offer exposure to world-class research on many subjects including the core areas of analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, materials, nanotechnology, organic, physical, polymer and theoretical chemistry. Our programs prepare our graduate students for fascinating careers in the industry, government and academia. Students must successfully complete at least three graduate level courses plus the M.Sc. seminar course, and submit and defend an acceptable thesis. Half of the graduate courses must be taken within the Department of Chemistry.<br><br>Students must successfully complete six graduate courses plus the M.Sc. seminar course and the M.Sc. Research Paper. The research paper is an experimental project to be completed during one term of full-time research in the laboratory of a faculty member. Three of the six graduate courses may be taken through other departments within the University. The minimum period of time for completion of the course work based M.Sc. is six terms and it is expected that the program will normally be completed within five years (usually part time).
