Hi Mairead,

as others as said to get into serious astronomy to a level to make a career out of it the main areas of study would be maths and physics. However a high level of knowledge in most areas of science is also required, including chemistry. Chemistry is important when looking into such things as the evolution of the universe and the life cycle of different stars.
