This is a research-based Master of Science degree in Chemistry at Concordia University, completed over a nominal two years and requiring 45 credits. The program offers research opportunities across areas including materials chemistry, medicinal chemistry, genomics, protein structure, and nanoscience, drawing on faculty expertise and specialized research centres and laboratories at Concordia's Loyola campus. Students undertake original research under faculty supervision, culminating in a thesis, alongside graduate coursework in their chosen research area. Applicants typically hold an honours or specialization degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or an equivalent qualification, with comparable degrees in related fields such as biology or physics also considered. The program is offered on-campus with intakes in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. Funding packages, including awards and assistantships, are generally available to students in this thesis-based program, preparing graduates for research careers in academia and industry or further doctoral study.
