At Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, BA/BS in Chemistry is offered as a bachelor's degree in Chemistry programme. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 37,992 per year (CAD 10,245 per year for local students).
Chemistry at Dalhousie University is an undergraduate degree offered through the Faculty of Science, covering the four main areas of the discipline: inorganic, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry. Coursework combines lecture-based study with laboratory work, progressing from introductory chemistry and calculus in first year to advanced topics such as electrochemistry and mass spectrometry in later years. Students develop skills in molecular-level analysis, problem-solving, and using mathematics and data analysis to interpret experimental results. The program can be taken as an Honours degree (concentrated or combined), a Major, Double Major, or Minor, and includes a co-op option offering three paid work terms integrated with academic study. As with other Bachelor of Science students, entrants begin as undeclared majors within the Faculty of Science before formally declaring Chemistry. The program suits students drawn to hands-on laboratory science and quantitative problem-solving, preparing graduates for further study or careers in chemistry-related fields that value analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from a completed Grade 12 requires a minimum overall average of 75 percent, including Academic English 12, Pre-calculus Math 12, and three further academic Grade 12 subjects; Bachelor of Science applicants enter as undeclared majors and formally declare Chemistry at the end of first year. Students missing a prerequisite can use Dalhousie's UPrep courses (for example in pre-calculus, chemistry or physics) to complete it before starting the degree. Admission is competitive, so meeting the minimum average does not guarantee a place. International applicants are assessed on the same subject list through Dalhousie's equivalency tables and must also meet the university's English-language requirement unless exempt, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20. The programme admits students in both September and January.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Dalhousie's live Dates and Deadlines page still shows the September 2026 entry cycle as of mid-September 2026, not the 2027 cycle. For that cycle, Bachelor of Science (Nursing), Bachelor of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) and Bachelor of Social Work close February 15, 2026; the Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies (Architecture) closes March 1, 2026; and the Health Sciences post-diploma option closes June 15, 2026. All other undergraduate programmes are considered on a rolling, space-available basis for both domestic and international applicants, with no separate international closing date published; May 15, 2026 is only the deposit and English-proficiency deadline, not an application deadline.
