Bachelor's in Chemical and Physical Sciences

McMaster University is a public institution located in Hamilton, Ontario, founded in 1887. It has additional campuses in Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Niagara, and downtown Hamilton. The university offers six main academic divisions including engineering, health sciences, humanities, science, social sciences, and the DeGroote School of Business. The university also has a unique arts and science program that offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate experience. McMaster has over 60 research centers and institutes, including a nuclear reactor used for research. One-fifth of Albert Einstein's brain is even stored in one of the university's labs for neuroscientific study.

Everything we know is either matter or energy. Understanding the ways in which matter and energy behave and interact is critical to an understanding of the universe at every level, from the submicroscopic constituents of matter to the macroscopic behaviour of galaxies and star clusters. This understanding comes through a mix of mathematical description, computational modelling and experimental investigations. These techniques are covered in Chemical & Physical Sciences I, which is the appropriate preparation for Level II programs in Astrophysics, Biophysics, Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Medical Physics, and Physics.
