Chemistry

Course summary

Chemistry is the study of the materials that make up everything in our world. From metals to medicines, from fuels to fertilisers, at A-level you will explore the properties and interactions of a wide range of substances. Key ideas from GCSE are developed and explored, and theoretical models are constructed to help explain practical observations. Practical work is regularly used to illustrate theories. There will be ample opportunity to develop experimental skills across the entire course.
