- CHEM6041 - Structural Biology for Chemists (3 units)
- CHEM8001 - Special Topics in Chemistry (3 to 24 units)
- Other courses by arrangement with the graduate program convener in chemistry
All students in the Master of Chemistry program will be assigned an academic mentor to provide advice on course options in the program. All course options undertaken in the program must have the approval of the graduate program convener in chemistry.
Students who maintain the 70% grade average in this degree may consider roll over to the Master of Chemistry (Research) which requires completion of one year of full-time research.
