Chemistry (BSc) or (BA) at Dalhousie University

Chemistry is a central science; everything you see, touch, and experience involves chemistry. Discover how the world works at a molecular level. Chemistry dictates everything around us — and within us. It is the science of transformation, dictating how elements interact to build our physical world, drive biological systems, and fuel new technologies. In chemistry classes we learn about the properties of molecules, we make new molecules and we measure their properties.

What you will study

Studying chemistry at Dalhousie involves training in the four main areas of chemistry: inorganic, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry. Through courses and labs, you'll build useful skills such as solving problems and using math and data to understand results.

Career pathways

Chemistry is known as the central science because its main theme, transformations of matter and energy, is at the core of many fields of science and engineering. Solid training leads to employment not only as a chemist but in many other fields. In addition to gaining chemical knowledge, you'll develop your analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
