化学理学士（荣誉学位）

化学是一门多元学科
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 program prepares you for a growing number of dynamic career options. You could be searching for the roots of crippling diseases, designing cancer-fighting drugs, optimizing sustainable energy storage systems, creating quantum devices for sensing, or developing new computational methods. Fire up the Bunsen burners in one of Canada's top 10 chemistry programs. You'll study everything from organic chemistry and analytical chemistry to polymer chemistry, nanoscience, and more. You can specialize in computational chemistry to study the fundamental properties of atoms, molecules, and reactions using quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. You'll learn to solve chemical problems using computer modelling and simulations. Meanwhile, you can gain 20 months of paid work experience through Waterloo's co-op program, allowing you to explore possible career paths while earning money to help pay for your education. If you're eyeing a career in teaching or academia, hone your instruction skills as a teaching assistant. Grab your lab goggles. With 20 laboratory courses to choose from, you'll log more than 200 hours at the bench by the end of your second year. In your final year, you can delve into the world of research with your own year-long project. Get professional credentials. When you graduate with your Chemistry degree, you'll be eligible for a professional chemist membership from the Chemical Institute of Canada - and be ready to create the future of fuels, plastics, drugs, foods, and other consumer products.
