Sometimes referred to as the ‘central science’, Chemistry helps to connect physical sciences, like Maths and Physics, with applied sciences, such as Biology, Medicine and Engineering. In fact, Chemistry is all around us and an understanding of the subject can help to answer many simple questions about everyday life! Chemistry is one of the Russell Group universities’ ‘facilitating’ subjects — so called because choosing them at A Level allows a wide range of options for degree study. WHAT WILL YOU STUDY WITHIN CHEMISTRY IN THE SIXTH FORM? Physical Chemistry; Inorganic Chemistry; Organic Chemistry. Specific areas of study may include aspects such as atomic structure, energetics, kinetics, oxidation, alkanes and alkenes, thermodynamics, polymers and amino acids, proteins and DNA.
The following are required for entry into the Sixth Form: • A Headmaster’s or Headmistress’ reference from the pupil’s current school • Attainment of a satisfactory standard at the Assessment Day and Scholarship Examinations or Exhibition assessments, where appropriate • Six (I)GCSE passes at Grade B (6) or above, with a minimum of Grade C (5) in English Language and Mathematics
