Description:
The biochemistry program provides you with the training needed to play a leading role in the new and exciting areas of medical research. You will be exposed to cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art knowledge. The undergraduate biochemistry program prepares you for graduate studies and thus for a career in academic or research positions involving the medical sciences. What's more, biochemistry provides an excellent foundation for further studies in medicine and other health specialties.
Chemical engineering is concerned with industrial processes involving chemical and physical changes. Chemical engineers create what has never been by using their fundamental knowledge of the basic sciences, their engineering training and an appreciation of economics. During their careers, chemical engineering graduates face the challenge of contemporary problems in pollution control, energy conversion, process sustainability and food processing. The Department of Chemical Engineering can provide the knowledge to help solve those problems. The extended French stream is available with this program.
