Chemistry with Biosciences - Chemical Sciences from Trinity College Dublin degree would serve as an excellent primary degree for a graduate course in health science such as medicine or physiotherapy. Our graduates can also pursue postgraduate degrees either in the School of Chemistry or in other world-class research institutions.

Key facts

As with graduates in other branches of chemistry, the skills acquired during this course will make you highly attractive to employers in a wide variety of areas. Graduates can contribute to research developments across the healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and the food processing sectors. This degree will also prepare you to work in education, science communication, business, data analysis and administration.

In the first two years you will study foundation courses in Chemistry, Biology, Maths and foundation Physics.

In third year, the course will branch off into relevant Chemistry and Biology modules allowing you to develop a unique perspective on issues directly affecting chemical and bioscience research.

Your third and fourth year modules will cover core chemistry principles in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry as well relevant modules in biology and biochemistry.

Lectures are complemented by laboratory experiments, where you will gain experience in more sophisticated preparative chemical and biological techniques.

Practical work in the final year will consist of a Capstone project. This may be carried out either in Trinity under the supervision of a member of staff, in a chemistry department at an overseas university, or in a commercial laboratory.
