Course summary

The OCR (Specification A) A Level Chemistry course is designed to be a natural continuation of GCSE Chemistry and involves the study of the three major branches of the subject: organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. It is considered to be the central science because of its links with other scientific disciplines. As students learn to develop a logical, analytical approach to solving problems, it can be both an exciting and challenging subject.

Entry requirements

The minimum entry requirement for the course is grade 7 or above at GCSE Chemistry or equivalent grades at GCSE Double Award Science. We would, however recommend a grade 8 or above. Sound mathematical skills are also required.
