Chemistry

Course summary

Chemistry is the study of materials: how they are made, their properties, their uses and their interaction. The aim of the course is to develop students’ understanding of major chemical concepts and their ability to apply them to different examples and situations. An A level Chemist will improve their ability to raise questions, investigate them and develop explanations based on firm scientific evidence. Our students will be equipped with the skills to engage in debate and discussion on ethical and moral scientific issues. There is also a strong emphasis of mathematical skills and the ability to analyse and evaluate data from a variety of different practical experiments.
