This course aims to encourage learners to; develop essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other, develop and demonstrate a deep appreciation of the skills, knowledge, and understanding of scientific methods, develop competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem solving skills, develop their interest in and enthusiasm for the subject and to understand how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society. The A Level course is split into six teaching modules: Module 1 – Development of practical skills in chemistry Module 2 – Foundations in Chemistry Module 3 – Periodic table and energy Module 4 – Core organic chemistry Module 5 – Physical chemistry and transition elements Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis Chemistry is essential for courses in Medicine, Dentistry, or Veterinary Science. It is often required for other medical sciences such as Pharmacy, and is desirable but not essential for medically related courses such as Physiotherapy. Chemistry is respected as a challenging subject by all Universities and is useful in most other science-related courses, such as Engineering, Environmental Sciences, and Forensic Science.
Our general Sixth Form entry requirement is 5 GCSEs at grades 4 - 9. A-level Chemistry is a challenging course. It is therefore recommended that you should have achieved a Grade 6 in both Core and Additional Science or a 6 in Triple Chemistry, and at least a grade 6 in Maths at GCSE.
