Program details

Overview

Pharmaceutical Chemistry is a specialization within Ontario Tech University's Chemistry program, leading to a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree. The program covers drug discovery and development, pharmacology, analytical techniques and drug chemistry, with a focus on the chemical design process and evaluation of potential medications. Students apply course material, hands-on laboratory experience and faculty research to problems relevant to the pharmaceutical industry. A direct-entry co-op option is available, combining coursework with paid work terms through Ontario Tech's co-operative education program (OUAC code DSW for the regular program, DWC for co-op). Students interested in management can extend their studies into the five-year Bachelor of Science and Management (Honours) program, which adds a foundation in finance, accounting, operations, project management and marketing alongside the science curriculum. The median upper-year class size is 21 students, and about 90 per cent of graduates are employed within six months of graduation.

A combined minimum 70 per cent average in prerequisite math and science courses is required; it is recommended that all four of MCV4U, SBI4U, SCH4U and SPH4U be taken. Admission is competitive and the specific average required varies from year to year; students are selected based on school marks, distribution of subjects taken and performance in subjects relevant to the program.
