As well as being a fascinating subject to study with a stimulating balance of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, Chemistry also fosters the development of a range of abilities in students which are highly prized at university and by potential employers. To be a successful Chemist a student needs to be able to analyze problems, think critically, apply mathematical skills, have an attention to detail, and be able to work with apparatus in an experimental setting. A good knowledge of Chemistry is also vital to the study of some areas of Biology and Physics and Chemistry is often called “the central science”. Chemistry opens the door to an interesting career in many fields such as Medicine, Pharmacy, and Chemical engineering and also in other areas such as Law where the rigorous nature of the subject is appreciated.
An interest in, and a desire to study, Chemistry is essential. Students who are willing to spend time studying on their own will do very well and will enjoy the course. We aim to instill a deep interest in the subject, which can be maintained in courses of further education and beyond. GCSE or equivalent IELTS 5.5 or equivalent
Formal internal assessments take place regularly about once every half term and homework is set on a regular basis. Grades are determined by final examinations, which take place in May/June at the end of the 2-year course. Practical work is assessed in the internal assessment project which makes up 20% of the final grade. An end of year exam must be passed for entry to year 2 and a mock exam must be passed for entry into the public exams.
