In the first year, you will study the fundamental principles of Chemistry in the following modules: • Atomic structure and the periodic table • Bonding and structure • Redox I • Inorganic chemistry and the periodic table • Formulae, equations and amounts of substances • Organic chemistry I • Modern analytical techniques I • Energetics I • Kinetics I • Equilibrium I In the second year, you will build on this foundation by studying the following modules: • Equilibrium II • Acid-base equilibria • Energetics II • Redox II • Transitions metals • Kinetics II • Organic chemistry II • Organic chemistry III • Modern analytical techniques II • Eight further core practical experiments. WHY STUDY CHEMISTRY? Chemistry is a popular subject that is required to pursue many careers of choice in the sciences. Many students go on to pursue chemistry related degrees, such as pharmacy, chemical and biochemical engineering, and medicine. Whatever field you decide to work in, you will find chemistry both a very rewarding and challenging course that will develop many of the skills essential for developing a successful career in both the scientific and non-scientific world.
Combined Science: Where students achieve a grade 5-5 or 6-5 (foundation or higher tier entry) they will be able to study one A Level Science subject only in their highest attaining component. Where students attain a grade 6-6 or above (higher tier entry) they will be able to study three A Level Science subjects. Separate Sciences: Grade 6 in GCSE Chemistry. In addition: · Grade 5 in GCSE Maths · Grade 5 in GCSE English Language
The exam at the end of the first year will consist of: Paper 1: Core inorganic and physical chemistry (1 hour 30 minutes). Paper 2: Core organic and physical chemistry (1 hour 30 minutes) The A-level exam at the end of the second year will consist of all 19 topics: Paper 1: Advanced inorganic and physical chemistry (1 hour 45 minutes). Paper 2: Advanced organic and physical chemistry (1 hour 45 minutes). Paper 3: General and practical principles in chemistry (2 hours 30 minutes). Science Practical Endorsement (Internally assessed and externally monitored by Edexcel) The core practicals that you will complete over the course will provide opportunities for demonstrating competence in various skills, together with the use of various apparatus and techniques in Chemistry. It will not contribute to the overall grade for this qualification, but the result will be recorded on your certificate at the end of the course.
