Why Biological and Pharmaceutical Chemistry?
This major combines the best of both worlds: the University of Guelph’s strength in the biological sciences along with the practical application of complex chemical methodology. Study in unique subject areas such as environmental chemistry and organic reactivity while also building your knowledge in biomedical physiology to create broad career outcomes.
The Biological and Pharmaceutical Chemistry major combines the worlds of chemistry and biology in an interdisciplinary fashion, preparing you for a variety of career and research outcomes after your undergraduate degree.
Students in the BPCH program may also be interested in studying Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Biomedical Science, Biomedical Toxicology, or other majors.
Gain Valuable Experience Through Co-op
Biological and Pharmaceutical Chemistry co-op is a four-and-a-half-year program, which includes four work terms. This co-op prepares students for their work terms by helping them develop professional attitudes and skills expected in the workplace as well as helping to build a toolkit of resume and cover letter writing as well as interview skills.
