Areas of Study
Chemistry is the Central Science
Chemistry connects the physical sciences with the life sciences and applied sciences, including engineering and medicine. Chemists understand the properties and dynamics of matter, and they have the skills to analyze and manipulate matter. Chemistry drives much of the world economy, for example the pharmaceutical, petroleum, polymers, and hygiene industries. Trinity chemistry and biochemistry graduates have the knowledge, skills, and experience to enter the workforce immediately, and they often pursue advanced degrees in science or medicine.
