FT-NMR instrumentation includes multinuclear Bruker AVANCE 300, 400, fully automated 400, NEO-500,600 MHz and new NEO-700 MHz spectrometers. The 600 and 700 are equipped for solution and solid state studies.

The Ph.D. program usually requires at least six module lecture courses (each equivalent to one-half of a term course) or the equivalent of three term lecture courses beyond the Bachelor's degree plus CHEM 801 Safety in the Laboratory,  CHEM 802  Chemistry Seminar Program ,  CHEM 803  Principles of Scientific Communication , a candidacy examination, a research seminar, and the completion of a thesis based on independent research. Unless permission is obtained from the supervisor and the coordinator of graduate studies at least two modules (excluding CHEM 801 Safety in the Laboratory,  CHEM 802  Chemistry Seminar Program  and  CHEM 803  Principles of Scientific Communication ) must be from among those offered by the Department of Chemistry.

The minimum course requirements for the M.A.Sc. program are four term-length graduate courses or their equivalent.  One term length senior (400-series) undergraduate course, OR one combined undergraduate/graduate course (also known as a double numbered 400/800 course) may be accepted as the equivalent of a graduate course from any discipline for an M.A.Sc. student provided that a) the course is approved by the student's supervisor and b) the student has not received credit for a similar course in their Bachelor's program.

The M.Sc. program include a thesis (CHEM-899) based on independent research and six module lecture courses (each equivalent to one-half of a term course) or the equivalent of three term lecture courses beyond the Bachelor's degree, plus CHEM 801 Safety in the Laboratory, CHEM 802 Chemistry Seminar Program and CHEM 803 Principles of Scientific Communication. Unless permission is obtained from the supervisor and coordinator of graduate studies at least four modules (excluding CHEM 801, CHEM 802, and  CHEM 803 ) must be from among those offered by the Department of Chemistry.

NOTE Most courses are one term in length and are 3.0 credit units in weight; however, modules are 6-weeks in length and are 1.5 credit units in weight (as shown in the relevant course descriptions).  Not all courses are offered in every session.
