Students acquire a systematic and comprehensive knowledge of Chemistry, in addition to meeting cutting edge applications in the chemical industry and in modern life. The A-level is taught in context via a series of Storylines over the two years. Starting with Elements for Life, the Storylines cover a diverse range of chemical ideas, from Developing Fuels through the Ozone Story, to the biochemistry of Polymers, and the chemistry of the Oceans. You will develop your experimental, analytical and research skills through a variety of practical activities, and these skills will contribute to the Practical Endorsement, which is awarded at the end of the course.
