The Materials Chemistry Program draws both on the basic sciences of chemistry and physics, and on the more applied areas such as metallurgy or ceramics. Courses dealing with these latter fields are offered through the Department of Materials Science in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. This would be an appropriate program for students with career interests in solid state, polymer or composite materials industries, or for graduate work in either chemistry or materials science, with an appropriate choice of options.

Consult Professor Eugenia Kumacheva, Department of Chemistry, and Professor U. Erb, Department of Metallurgy and Materials Science.

Enrolment in this program requires completion of four courses; no minimum GPA is required. Fourteen (14) full courses or their equivalent, including at least one 400-series course, are required to complete this program.
