Recognized among Canada's leading chemistry departments for both teaching and research, we provide an engaging academic setting for students at all levels. Queen's Chemistry curriculum emphasizes hands-on laboratory experience, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge from coursework. Advanced students can focus on core chemistry disciplines—analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, or theoretical chemistry—or investigate emerging fields like environmental science, materials science, biochemistry, computational chemistry, or polymer science.
Housed in Chernoff Hall, our chemistry department ranks among Canada's finest for both education and research. We strive to create an inspiring academic atmosphere for undergraduates, particularly through immersive laboratory experiences. Upper-year students may concentrate on traditional chemistry specializations or venture into interdisciplinary areas including environmental chemistry, materials science, biological chemistry, computational methods, or polymer applications.
Chemistry professionals contribute significantly to critical fields ranging from pharmaceutical development and material engineering to sustainable energy solutions and environmental conservation.
