A level Chemistry is both a ’hands on’ and intellectually challenging subject which will equip you with the skills to be able to work practically and build upon and develop your knowledge in this exciting area of science. You will be supported in the development of many transferrable skills including: analysis of data, problem solving, experimental techniques, use of Quickfit © apparatus, and how keep a record of practical work. The course covers key concepts in organic and physical chemistry with practical work embedded throughout. Topics in Year 1 include: atomic structure, the periodic table, titrations, enthalpy changes, organic synthesis and analysis. In Year 2, you will apply your knowledge to new topics including: entropy, transition elements, aromatic compounds, nitrogen compounds, electrode potentials and spectroscopy. The course encourages learners to understand how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the economy and society in general. We are passionate about ensuring students take part in regular practical sessions; enhancing their chemistry skills and learning.
At least 5 courses successfully at the following levels; 9 – 5 (or equivalent) at GCSE, or level 2 BTEC/CTEC/VCERT.
100% exams, plus a non-examination assessment— ’Practical endorsement for chemistry’ - where students complete a minimum of 12 practical activities to develop and demonstrate practical skills in chemistry. Many courses at University are now expecting students to have passed the practical endorsement.
