In the first year students develop their A-Level understanding and build a clear foundation to this higher-level study which covers physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. The course also includes a series of experiments to develop practical skills. In the second year foundation topics are studied in further depth. Students also further develop their practical skills and learn how to problem solve and interpret data. This course teaches problem solving, teamwork, numeracy, communication and practical skills, as well as hugely valuable independent study and reasoning skills. Our purpose built laboratories are well equipped and maintained providing you with a state of the art learning environment.
GCSE grade 6 (or above) in Science and Maths and GCSE grade 5 in English.
Paper 1: Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry - 1.75hrs, 90 marks (30%) Paper 2: Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry- 1.75hrs, 90 marks (30%) Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Chemistry- 2.5hrs, 120 marks (40%) Core Practicals - 12 practical experiments, completed across two years of study
