Why study Chemistry? Knowledge of Chemistry opens doors to many careers and opportunities particularly within the field of medicine. The course involves some complex mathematical problem solving so it is important that you are confident in Mathematics. What will you study? Year 12 Many of the topics you studied at GCSE are pursued in greater detail such as chemical bonding and structure, rates of reaction and organic chemistry. Organic chemistry features more prevalently as a branch of chemistry in its own right. Practical investigations form a key part of the course and will be assessed during lessons across the two years. Year 13 Modules studied in Year 12 in a qualitative way are extended in a more quantitative manner and the transition elements are studied in depth.
An APS of 5.5+. You will also You will require at least grade 6 in chemistry/7-7 if combined science. You should also have at least a grade 5 in English and 6 in Mathematics as you need to be competent in literacy and numeracy in order to successfully access the content of the course.
Throughout the two years there will be regular end of module assessments and examinations. Practical work is assessed during lessons with the focus being on the skills acquired such as safe and effective use of laboratory equipment.
