Chemistry

Course summary

Students will follow the AQA A level specification which is the most popular exam board for this subject and is highly respected by schools, colleges, universities and employers alike. The A-level Chemistry course qualification builds upon knowledge and skills developed at GCSE. The A level Chemistry course is split into three units: • Physical Chemistry (e.g. atomic structure, rate equations and kinetics) • Inorganic Chemistry (e.g. periodicity, transition metals and the halogens) • Organic Chemistry (e.g. alcohols, halogenoalkanes and amines) Visit the AQA Chemistry website for a full list of topics studied in these three units. A trip to Bradford University enables the students to develop their theoretical Organic Chemistry and practical skills.
