  • Biochemistry has always been a popular program at McMaster University, but not everyone is suitable for this program. Therefore, I wanted to share with you why I chose Biochem and how my experience has been in Biochem, and the pros and cons of Biochem.
    Hopefully, it was helpful :)
    Thanks for watching :D

    just gonna ask something i am not 100% sure cause all my information is just from reading and i didn't start uni yet but isnt biochem more chemistry based and chemical bio more bio based cause i did read in a couple of places that bio chem is more of a chemist approach to biology and chemical bio is more of a biologist approach to chemistry or maybe im wrong ?

    For anyone whos here looking for actual advice, she sounds like she hasnt finished the degree and is also not at a traditional school.. you will definitely take both genetics and analytical chem plus harder classes like physical chem.
    The major is hard and typically requires an advanced degree for a good job, but its probably the most interesting topic to me tbh

I think pharmacy is kinda good but im worried about its careers. Im interested about biochemistry and in the school that im going to apply is it's just a three year trimestral. Im curious about what can it do to my future career or what am i going to do after those three years, and which program has more career choices. I'll appreciate a lot to your response!

    I'm torn between clinical biochemist and chem engineer just because the best faculty that's available and dictates the degree of clinical biochem, the faculty of chemistry, has calc 1 and 2 in one semester (they call it mathematics 01 or analysis 1). They do the same for calc 3 and 4 (mathematics 04).
    The faculty of engineering, which dictates the chem engineer degree, has all the math in different subjects, which makes it easier to study.
    I don't know what to do 😭 (I'm doing the first year of clinical biochemist)
