An A Level in Chemistry is highly regarded by Higher Education and can lead to many rewarding career paths. Chemistry is sometimes known as the “central science” because it helps connect the physical sciences, maths and physics, with applied sciences, biology, medicine and engineering. By studying A Level chemistry you will develop your research, problem solving and analytical skills. It helps you challenge ideas and show how you worked things out through logic and step-by-step reasoning. Practical work is an important and essential aspect of the course. Content 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
We follow the OCR exam board. The A Level qualification is a full time course achieved over a two year period. It is assessed by 3 written exams at the end of the second year: Two written papers, both 2 hours and 15 minutes worth 37% One written paper 1 hour 30 minutes worth 26% The practical skills and techniques are assessed directly in the practical endorsement, using the common practical assessment criteria (CPAC). Students carry out 12 practicals throughout the two years of the A Level course and maintain their own records. Quality assurance of the practical endorsement is carried out by visiting monitors.
