From the moment you are born, and throughout your life, you are surrounded by chemistry. Chemistry is the study of substances, what they are made of, how they interact and what role they play in living things. Chemistry is a highly valued qualification and will suit you if you are practical, like solving problems and are good at maths. We follow the AQA A level Chemistry course. This is split into three areas of chemistry and we will study the following topics as part of the course: Physical Chemistry • Structure and Bonding • Thermodynamics and equilibria • Acids and bases Organic Chemistry • Alkanes and Alkenes • Aromatic Chemistry • Organic synthesis and analysis Inorganic Chemistry • Periodicity • Group 2 and group 7 • Period 3 elements and transition metals There are also 12 assessed practical activity skills that run through the course.
You should have at least 5 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above including Maths and English. You should also have sat a higher science paper and achieved a grade 6 or above in Chemistry or a grade 66 or above in combined science. This is a level 3 course, which demands a high level of literacy, numeracy, data skills, problem solving and organisational skills.
There are three exams at the end of two years of study. • Paper 1 – 2 hours (Specific topics) • Paper 2 – 2 hours (Specific topics) • Paper 3 – 2 hours (all topics) Throughout the course there will also be an internally assessed review of practical skills, examining specific experiments as well as investigation and research skills. On successful completion you will be awarded with a practical endorsement.
