Overview

Master of Science in Chemistry

In the MSc program, you’ll take courses to broaden your knowledge and your own research will be the core of your degree. The university emphasizes special areas of research over the traditional sub-disciplines of chemistry. 

We’ll give you the tools to become an efficient and productive scientist. In our MSc, you’ll learn skills that will help you in your future careers. You’ll be encouraged to publish your research in scientific journals and also have the opportunity to present at conferences.

PoND program

You can add the Polymer Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery (PoND) training program to your degree. PoND is a Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) training program. PoND addresses critical gaps in the research area of chronic diseases.

PoND offers trainees scientific knowledge and technical skills, as well as problem-solving and industrial perspectives. You’ll graduate uniquely employer-ready for the pharmaceuticals and drug delivery sectors.

Accelerated option

Students who have graduated with UVic Chemistry Honours degrees (or equivalent) and wish to continue their undergraduate research at the MSc level may be exempted from some coursework and complete the accelerated option in four terms.
