Program details
Overview
Chemistry at the University of Toronto is an Honours Bachelor of Science program offered at all three campuses. Mississauga and St. George each offer the standard program, and Scarborough offers both a standard program and a Chemistry (Health Sciences Stream) variant. Depending on campus, students can pursue the subject as a Major, Minor, or Specialist, and work-integrated learning options are available across all three campuses. The subject is grouped under the university's Mathematics & Physical Sciences area, described as investigating the principles that shape the world through critical thinking, problem-solving, and exploration. Ontario applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six courses at the 4U/M level, including English, Chemistry, and Advanced Functions, with Calculus & Vectors and Physics recommended depending on campus; the co-op component of Grade 12 courses is not used in the admission evaluation. The program suits students seeking a laboratory- and theory-based chemistry education, with the choice of a full Specialist credential, a lighter Major or Minor, or a health-sciences-oriented variant at Scarborough.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Offered at all three campuses, this program shares U of T's Ontario baseline: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/M courses including English (ENG4U/EAE4U); the co-op component of a Grade 12 course is excluded from admission consideration. Mississauga (OUAC TMW) and St. George (OUAC TPG) require Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Chemistry (SCH4U), recommending Calculus & Vectors at Mississauga; Scarborough (OUAC TSP/TXH) requires Advanced Functions, Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U) and Physics (SPH4U), recommending Chemistry. International applicants apply through the same OUAC system with the equivalent senior secondary credential and the same subject prerequisites. No minimum grade percentage is published; applicants whose first language is not English must meet the University's general proficiency minimums (IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 89 overall with 22 in Speaking and Writing for tests before 21 January 2026).
