Chemical principles are becoming increasingly vital to understand, explain and improve the world we live in. Chemists and biochemists are also playing a vital role in the research on treatments and vaccines vital for the fight against Covid-19. You will study chemistry in a range of different contexts through theory and practical work which together convey the excitement of contemporary chemistry. Across the course, you will study elements of life, developing fuels, elements from the sea, the ozone layer, medicines, the chemical industry, polymers and life, oceans, developing metals and colour by design. Concepts are introduced in a spiral way with topics introduced early in the course and reinforced later. There is a particular emphasis on an investigational and problem-solving approach to practical work.
All candidates are expected to achieve a minimum of five GCSEs at grade 9 to 5, including English and Maths, and at least grade 7 in the A Level subjects to be studied, or equivalent subjects.
Three written exams taken at the end of the course. You will carry out a range of practical experiments throughout the course which are assessed and reported separately to the A Level grade as a practical endorsement.
