The course is divided into three topics, each containing different key concepts of chemistry. The teaching of practical skills is integrated with the theoretical topics and is assessed in the examinations. The importance of chemistry in industrial, economic, environmental and social contexts Carry out standard laboratory procedures involved in synthetic and analytical work, in relation to both inorganic and organic systems How to safely handle chemical materials, taking into account their physical and chemical properties, including any specific hazards associated with their use How to plan, design and execute practical investigations, from the problem recognition stage through to the evaluation and appraisal of results and findings.
- Students wishing to join the course should have achieved at least a Grade 6 in combined science or a Grade 6 in separate Chemistry.
