Trinity has a long and distinguished history of chemical research: the Balliol-Trinity Laboratory, in what is now Trinity’s back yard, was one of the first dedicated chemistry laboratories in Oxford and many advances in the subject were born there. These include Cyril Hinshelwood’s Nobel Prize-winning work in chemical kinetics, and Henry Moseley’s work on X-ray diffraction by metals which rationalised the concept of atomic number and provided experimental evidence in support of the Bohr model of the atom.
Nowadays, Trinity welcomes up to six undergraduates onto the MChem course and several graduate students onto the DPhil each year. We offer tutorials in all branches of the MChem course within Trinity. Beyond the tutorials, we provide a supportive environment for students to develop as independent and creative scientists. In particular we encourage students to widen their experience of real-world science outside of their theoretical study. We guide students in choosing research placements, and we host Chemistry Research Evenings at which all Trinity chemists come together to hear research presentations, and to meet graduate students working toward research degrees.
Trinity is located a 5-minute walk away from the Department of Chemistry.
