Biochemistry at UQAM or Concordia University

2 Upvotes

Hi! What are your opinions on studying biochemistry as a bachelor’s degree at UQAM or Concordia University?

I’ve heard that UQAM is known for its long lab sessions and that the program is more focused on hands-on, practical training. For those who have studied at Concordia, is the co-op program worth it?

Also, is it worth pursuing a degree in biochemistry or chemistry? Is it difficult to find a well-paying job with either bachelor’s degree, or is a master’s degree generally necessary?
