Chemistry is the study of the nature and transformation of matter at the molecular level. It is the creative science, chemists being at the forefront of the design and synthesis of new and exotic materials that change our lives. Ironically, Chemistry permeates so much of our existence that its importance is often overlooked. Chemistry is also described as the central science because it uses physical and mathematical concepts to generate ideas important for understanding biological and geographical processes.
To be successful students will need at least GCSE grade 7 in Chemistry, grade 7 in another Science and grade 7 in Mathematics. Those candidates who have studied Double Award Science will have some preparatory work to do but should be successful if they obtain 2 grade 7s and grade 7 in Mathematics.
This will consist of three exams. Practical Assessment: All students will take a minimum of 12 practicals across the A-level course covering a common core list of apparatus and technique usage. There will also be questions in the exam papers that will test students’ knowledge and understanding of their practical work. Alongside their A-level grade based on their exams a ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ grade will be given for practical work in lessons.
