Chemists are involved in everything from working on new cancer-busting drugs to developing exciting new flavours for crisps, and from protecting the environment to formulating materials that will make computers work faster. Chemistry is cutting-edge and chemists are pioneering and innovative. In A Level Chemistry you not only build on the skills and knowledge you developed at IGCSE but you will be challenged and encouraged to think about the subject in new ways. The course is divided into three parts: Organic, Physical, and Inorganic Chemistry. The Level course is designed to help you gain an appreciation of how scientific models are developed and evolve, and how they are applied. It includes work which deals with the importance of Chemistry in our own lives and the world in general. This might include aspects of Chemistry that are often in the media, such as climate change. You study areas such as these to develop an understanding of the underlying Chemistry and how this might be applied to provide solutions to such pressing modern issues. It also opens the door to discussions on the ethical implications of science, and how society uses science to make decisions. You will develop a broad framework of knowledge as well as the disciplines required to master and combine the theoretical and practical aspects of this exciting science. You will develop practical skills such as making observations, collecting data, analysing experimental results and formulating conclusions. A Level of Chemistry is a requirement for many scientific degree courses including Medicine and Veterinary Science. However, Chemistry is not just a subject for future medics. It is highly recommended for some engineering courses and is very useful for a wide range of degrees. In the world of work, people with a background in Chemistry can be found not just in research laboratories, but also in patent law, marketing, and investment analysis. It is a science that can take you almost anywhere. Each year, Year 12 and 13 students participate in the Chemistry Olympiad and Cambridge C3L6 competition. Girls in these year groups also run the hugely popular Lotions and Potions Club. Students in Year 12 visit New Scientist Live and many attend evening lectures at Imperial and UCL. To succeed in A-level Chemistry, you must be inquisitive, able to work accurately and have a genuine interest in the ‘whats’ and ‘whys’ that explain why matter behaves the way it does.
