A level of Chemistry builds on ideas that you have studied in school. In the first year of study, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of atomic structure and ideas on which numerical work and inorganic chemistry are based. It will give you a foundation for studying the functional groups of molecules and their reactions and raise issues about applying organic chemistry to everyday life. We also cover some fundamental physical chemistry involving energy calculations, rates of reactions, and equilibria. In the second year, you will study more organic, physical, and inorganic chemistry with a strong emphasis on analysis and problem-solving. Practical skills are developed throughout the two years with practical work being carried out each week, and are assessed as part of the written examinations and also via a separate standalone assessment completed in the second year of study. Chemistry will equip you with a myriad of skills including: Problem-Solving Complex equations and calculations Logical Thinking Data Analysis Independent learning Manual dexterity
6 GCSEs between 9 to 4 (A*-C) for including 2 of English, Maths or Science. 2 should be at least grade 6 (B). GCSE Maths (higher tier) grade 9-6 WITH EITHER GCSE Chemistry grade 9-6 OR GCSE Combined Science grades 9,9-6,6.
Paper 1: Periodic table, elements, and physical chemistry (37%) Marks: 100. Method of assessment: Written paper 2h 15 min. This unit looks at practical skills, foundations in chemistry, the periodic table, energy, physical chemistry, and transition elements. Paper 2: Synthesis and Analytical Techniques (37%) Marks: 100. Method of assessment: Written paper 2h 15 min. This unit looks at practical skills, foundations in chemistry, organic chemistry, and analysis. Paper 3: Unified Chemistry (26%) Marks: 70. Method of assessment: Written paper 1h 30 min. This unit brings together all aspects of Paper 1 and Paper 2. Practical Endorsement: This will be evidenced by meeting a range of key skills in practical work, developed over the two years. Practical skills will be assessed in the written papers (around 15% of the content).
