Chemistry is a fascinating subject and is at the cutting edge of many new discoveries and processes you might hear about in the media. It is a subject that will be vital in solving many of the world’s most pressing problems: moving away from carbon-based fuels, developing new smart materials (e.g. polymers and graphene), solving the world’s food crisis (new fertilizers and pesticides), as well as developing new medicines. Subject areas studied at A level include familiar topics such as Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table, Bonding and Structure, Formulae, Equations and Amounts of Substance, Kinetics, and Equilibrium, as well as totally new topics such as Redox Reactions, Transition Metals, Energetics, Modern Analytical Techniques, and Advanced Organic Chemistry.
In general, a 7 at GCSE is the minimum grade you will need to achieve in a subject to be able to study it at Emanuel at A level. Additionally, if you wish to study Mathematics or Physics at A level you will need at least an 8 at GCSE, and those studying Physics at A level must also be studying A level Mathematics. In addition, we require the average grade criteria to be met. This standard indicates that a pupil will be able to study independently, and can successfully access the very much more challenging material presented by the A-level courses. To study this course successfully at A Level pupils will need a 7 at IGCSE (or 7-7 or above in Double Award Science if IGCSE Chemistry was not an option open to you). You should also have at least a 7 in GCSE Mathematics, since 20% of the questions will involve the use of mathematical skills at GCSE level and above.
Assessment is by three externally examined written papers, which are all sat at the end of the second year: Paper 1: Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry (1 hour 45 minutes) Paper 2: Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry (1 hour 45 minutes) Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Chemistry (2 hours 30 minutes)
