BA/BS in Chemical Physics

Chemical Physics at Trent University is a Bachelor of Science program for students interested in the physics and physical chemistry of molecular and atomic-scale systems, and of condensed matter. Coursework emphasizes the physics and physical chemistry of atomic, molecular, and bulk systems, together with the mathematical techniques needed for quantitative work in these areas. Students take formal lectures alongside laboratory and tutorial/workshop sessions, working with faculty and staff from the Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics & Statistics, and Physics & Astronomy, whose combined course offerings form the integrated Chemical Physics sequence. Students may enrol in either a General or an Honours stream; Honours research projects give students first-hand experience in modern chemical physics research design and methods, building on foundations shared with the Department's Chemistry offerings.
