Students who are an excellent student with superior abilities in chemistry, physics and mathematics then Wilfrid Laurier University's Chemistry and Physics program is a match for them. This program combines some of the best of Bachelor of Science (BSc) programs in Chemistry and Physics. They will graduate with a solid theoretical foundation in chemistry and physics through both classroom lectures and laboratory experiments.
The focus of Wilfrid Laurier University's Chemistry and Physics program is on the chemical and physical properties of materials at the bulk scale (where dimensions are effectively infinite) and at the nanoscale (where dimensions are 1 to 100 nanometers). At the bulk scale, classical mechanics can generally be used to describe the material. However, at the nanoscale, quantum effects can be very important and the properties of the material can be very different. For example, whereas bulk gold is inert, gold nanoparticles have been shown to catalyze a variety of chemical reactions. Student's materials science and quantum mechanics courses (and nanoscience courses) in both chemistry and physics will provide students with a unique skill set which will enable them to understand the properties of existing materials and which will give students the ability to design new materials with unique mechanical, optical, electronic or magnetic properties, which could have applications not only in chemistry and physics but also in disciplines as varied as computing and medicine.
A degree in Chemistry and Physics from Wilfrid Laurier University is excellent preparation for a wide variety of jobs in industry ranging from soil remediation to microchip fabrication. This program is also an excellent starting place for further education at medical, dental or pharmaceutical schools, or for pursuing graduate work in chemistry and physics or other related disciplines.

THE (Times Higher Education) has been providing trusted performance data on universities for students and their families, academics, university leaders, governments and industry, since 2004. We create university rankings to assess university performance on the global stage and to provide a resource for readers to understand the different missions and successes of higher education institutions.
The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was first published in June 2003 by the Center for World-Class Universities (CWCU), Graduate School of Education (formerly the Institute of Higher Education) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and updated on an annual basis
The "Webometrics Ranking of World Universities" is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. CSIC is among the first basic research organizations in Europe. The CSIC consisted in 2006 of 126 centers and institutes distributed throughout Spain.
