The department offers courses and supervises research leading to both the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Master of Science Students entering with an Honours degree or equivalent standing are required to spend a minimum of one calendar year of study and research. The minimum number of courses required for the M.Sc. is 12 credit hours.
Actual time spent is usually somewhat longer.
All graduate students and fourth-year Honours students are expected to attend the colloquia. An information sheet detailing the Department of Chemistry regulations for the M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs supplementary to the regulations of the Faculty of Graduate Studies is available in the Chemistry general office. A graduate course schedule may be obtained from the Chemistry Department General Office.
