Chemistry is a great choice of subject for students considering a career in health and clinical professions such as medicine, nursing, biochemistry, dentistry or forensic science. It will also equip you for a career in industry, for example in the petrochemical or pharmaceutical industries. Year 1 Physical chemistry Including atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, kinetics, chemical equilibria and Le Chatelier’s principle and redox reactions. Inorganic chemistry Including periodicity, Group 2 the alkaline earth metals, Group 7(17) the halogens. Organic chemistry Including introduction to organic chemistry, alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, organic analysis. Physical chemistry Including thermodynamics, rate equations, equilibrium constant (Kc and Kp), electrode potentials & electrochemical cells and acids & bases. Inorganic chemistry Including properties of Period 3 elements and their oxides, transition metals, reactions of ions in aqueous solution. Organic chemistry Including optical isomerism, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and derivatives, aromatic chemistry, amines, polymers, amino acids, proteins and DNA, organic synthesis, NMR spectroscopy, chromatography
Pupils must have a grade 6 or above in Chemistry or Double Award Science at GCSE to enter onto the A Level course. A good grade in Mathematics is also advisable.
Practical competence does not contribute towards the final grade, but practical-based questions will form about 15% of the total assessment on the written papers. You will have many opportunities to learn and use practical skills to link theory with practice, deepening your knowledge and understanding. These practical lessons will be integrated into day to day teaching. 10% of chemistry exams will assess mathematical skills at higher tier GCSE level.
