Chemistry attempts to answer the big question “What is our world made of?” It is the study of the composition, structure and properties of matter as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. It is the study of substances, what they are made of, how they interact and the role they play in living things. It is the study of all materials and is vital to every aspect of your life. Studying a chemistry related degree at university gives access to exciting career options; medical, veterinarian, chemical engineering and analysing, clinical biochemistry, pharmacology or research. The skills of numeracy, problem solving and communication are all integral parts of Chemistry and therefore an A’ Level in this science could also lead to careers in finance and law.
Generally, students must have at least 5 GCSE grades 9 – 5 or equivalent Scottish Highers qualifications for entry to the Sixth Form. Internal candidates are very likely to exceed this minimum requirement with an average of 9 GCSEs. It is usual for a student to have achieved a Grade 6 or higher in their chosen areas of study.
