UBC offers a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree with a Major in Chemistry.
- For first-year: UBC CHEM 123 (Langara UBC CHEM 1120 & 1220) is the normal prerequisite for admission to Chemistry specializations. In addition, students applying for entrance to Chemistry specializations must have completed MATH 100 and MATH 101 (Langara MATH 1171 or 1173/1183 and MATH 1271 or 1273/1283), or their equivalents.
- For second-year: Students are required to have completed the equivalent of two one-semester introductory chemistry courses
- For third-year: It is recommended that students taking UBC BIOL 201 should have completed a university-level biology course with cell biology content (e.g., UBC BIOL 200 = Langara BIOL 2415)

Footnotes:
1 Of the 6 credits required to satisfy the Communication Requirement, 3 credits are specified in third year (UBC CHEM 300). The remaining 3 credits must be chosen from the list of acceptable courses, see Communication Requirement. ENGL credits beyond those needed to satisfy the Communication Requirement may be applied towards the Faculty of Science Arts Requirement
2 UBC MATH 100 (Langara MATH 1153 & 1253) may substitute for any of the specified differential calculus courses listed by decreasing the electives by 3 credits
3 Chosen from 100-level PHYS courses, excluding PHYS 100. PHYS 119 (Langara PHYS 1225) is recommended. Students without Physics 12 must take PHYS 100 (Langara PHYS 1118) before taking other 100-level PHYS courses
4 Electives must be selected to ensure that the Arts Requirement and Science Breadth Requirement are met. Students who do not have credit for Biology 11 or Biology 12 must take 3 credits of 100-level BIOL.
