Course summary

After taking your GCSEs, there is no doubt that you will be well aware of the kind of work that is involved in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and you know whether you have a passion and aptitude for Science. While choosing these subjects at A Level presents another step up in terms of academic challenge, our team of specialist subject teachers is here to equip you with everything you need to be well-prepared, ready, and excited to meet the rigor of these intellectually stimulating qualifications. Chemistry A Level is a highly respected A Level, with its broad variety of tested skills, and it is a good choice for many degrees and careers.

The A Level Chemistry course has been designed to be a practical experience, with students undertaking both practical and theory work.
