The course takes recent developments in Chemistry into account and aims to deepen students’ understanding and knowledge of all aspects of the subject. The study of Chemistry encourages an enquiring mind and aims to develop logical and critical thinking abilities. The areas studied cover Inorganic Chemistry (the study of elements) and Organic Chemistry (the study of carbon compounds - the molecules of living things). These are linked together by unifying concepts such as the Periodic Table, bonding and structure, reaction kinetics, and energy and equilibrium. While studying A Level Chemistry, you will develop practical skills that include making observations, collecting data, analysing experimental results and formulating decisions. Chemistry is regarded as a facilitating subject by the UK’s top universities, and combines particularly well with Physics, Biology, Mathematics and Geography. Students interested in any higher education courses and careers with a scientific basis, such as pure research, medicine, veterinary science, engineering, biology, biotechnology, geology or computing, will find A Level Chemistry useful and often essential.
- Grade 6 in Chemistry and at lease a Grade 6 in another Science. Mathematics is used extensively at A level, so a Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics is also required. - 5 passes at a minimum of Grade 5, including/as well as at least Grade 4 in English and Mathematics.
