Chemistry: Chemistry MSc, PhD Courses

Not all courses are offered every year. Please consult the department each session as to course availability.

All graduate courses for degree credit must be approved by the department. Subject to departmental permission, degree students in chemistry may take a limited number of graduate courses based on fourth-year Faculty of Arts and Science courses in chemistry or a cognate discipline. Approvals of such fourth-year courses will be considered on an individual basis. Third-year arts and science courses, or their essential equivalents, will not receive degree credit.
