A-level Chemistry builds upon the knowledge gained at GCSE but goes much further, revealing some significant simplifications taught at GCSE. It contains a slightly greater level of mathematical content than GCSE and overlaps with some topics taught in Physics. Studying Chemistry at A level will give you the skills and knowledge required for a huge range of Higher Education courses and future careers – even in non-science fields. That is because Chemistry is regarded as a rigorous A level that requires students to have a logical way of thinking and approaching problems – these attributes are very highly valued by further education institutions and potential future employers. Chemistry is all around us: cooking dinner, travelling by bus, even breathing – chemical reactions are not only found in a lab!
Sixth Form pathway entry requirements: A-level route over 42 points Mixed A-level/BTEC route 32 points Grade 6 in Chemistry and at least one other Science or grade 77 in combined science.
