Chemistry helps you to develop research, problem-solving and analytical skills. It helps you to challenge ideas and shows you how to work things out through logic and step-by-step reasoning. Chemistry often requires teamwork and communication skills too, which is great for project management. Sixth Form Chemistry covers a wide range of topics that will interest and challenge students. Academic study is combined with practical investigations. You will develop your knowledge base of Chemistry and learn about a range of analytical and investigative skills. The course (both A Level and IB) is split into three topics: physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. Within these three main topics, we cover material including kinetics, thermodynamics, periodicity, properties of Group 3 elements, optical isomerism, and polymers. At IB you also study an additional topic on Medicinal Chemistry.
Our standard Sixth Form offer for A levels or IB is a total of 62 GCSE points from nine subjects, which is calculated by adding up all grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. (The minimum therefore is eight grade 7's and one grade 6, or equivalent.) For students who have taken GCSE Dual Award Science, a double Grade 8 is required overall, including a Grade 8 in the relevant Science component of this course, and a grade 7 in Mathematics to continue the study of Chemistry, Physics or Biology in the Sixth Form, both on the A Level and IB routes. Grade 7 + Grade 7 in Maths
