Chemistry is all around us and an understanding of the subject can help to answer many simple questions about everyday life. Chemistry is connected to the physical sciences, like Math and Physics as well as applied sciences such as Biology, Medicine, and Engineering. It also partners well with other subjects such as Geography and Art. A Level of Chemistry is a very desirable trait and a highly respected qualification to have in academic circles. In the first year of the course, you will build on your knowledge from GCSE but also develop a clear foundational introduction to this higher-level study. You will learn about physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry as well as undertaking a series of practical sessions. During year 2 of the course, you will study the subject in more depth covering topics such as thermodynamics, rate equations, aromatic chemistry, medicine, and protein synthesis. There will be further opportunities to develop your practical skills and learn how to problem-solve and interpret data through practical work.
Our general entry requirements are that you will need a minimum of five Grade 5s or above in your GCSEs to study A-Levels including Maths & English. To study A Level Chemistry you will need to achieve a grade 6 in GCSE Chemistry or if you have studied the combined paper, you will need to have achieved a 6,5 with the 6 in the Chemistry papers.
3 exams (2 hours each) Paper 1 –105 marks of short/long answer questions Paper 2 – 105 marks of short/long answer questions Paper 3 – 40 marks for questions on practical techniques and data analysis, 20 marks for questions testing across the specification and 30 marks of multiple-choice answer questions
