The course is underpinned by the practical skills we call ‘How Science Works’. Chemists have greatly improved the quality of life for the majority of people by being real innovators, designing solutions to the problems that affect modern times. Whether you want a job in medicine or industry, Chemistry is the solid platform upon which many careers are built. Chemistry provides an excellent broad range of skills including numeracy and problem solving, desirable in most career paths. There are two learning units in the first year. Paper 1 covers foundation subjects like atomic structure, bonding, periodicity and equilibria and their relevant practical skills. Paper 2 is the study of topics like kinetics, an introduction to organic chemistry and analytical techniques and relevant practical skills.
Chemistry GCSE minimum Grade 6, combined science GCSE minimum Grade 7.
Paper 1 90-minute written paper Paper 2 90-minute written paper Both papers comprise 65 marks from short- and long-answer questions and 15 multiple-choice questions (total 80 marks on each paper) In the second year you will have a further three assessments. Paper 4 120-minute – 105 marks of short- and long-answer questions Paper 5 120-minute – 105 marks of short- and long-answer questions Paper 6 120-minute – 40 marks on practical techniques and data analysis, 20 marks testing from the whole specification (synoptic questions) and 30 marks for multiple-choice questions.
