Chemistry permeates all aspects of our lives. From the clothes we wear to the drugs we use to treat life-threatening diseases, chemistry is at the forefront of scientific research. Modern research chemists work collaboratively to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, including how to feed and power an ever-increasing population. As well as scientific research, a qualification in chemistry would allow you to follow career paths in medicine, pharmacy, and even education. Whilst the transferable skills you acquire, such as problem-solving and investigative skills, will make you a desirable candidate for a career in patent law, accountancy, or even publishing. Chemistry is all about application, and at CIS you will develop the skills and attributes needed to explore your scientific curiosity. Our approach reflects the practical nature of chemistry, and at CIS you will have the capacity to move beyond the limitations of the syllabus. You will develop advanced experimental skills through the synthesis of painkillers, whilst exploring how computational modeling is being used to bring new drugs to market. You will even be able to get to grips with a 3D printer, which can be extremely useful in making bespoke laboratory equipment. The use of technology will also be at the heart of teaching, providing you with access to online resources and recorded lectures, to better support you throughout your studies. All of this will provide you with an excellent qualification, and a set of skills that will be applied through your career.
Grades 9-5 (A*-C) in at least 6 GCSE subjects including Math and English Language or an international equivalent eg. IB Middle Year Programme.
