Chemistry is fundamental to life – clothing, food and medicine all rely on chemical processes and chemists hold the key to solving some of the big challenges we face, from food security to climate change. Choose A Level Chemistry to build practical skills fundamental to understanding the nature of chemistry, alongside data collection and analysis experience, mathematical and problem-solving skills. Inspired by subject-specialist teachers you will learn in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, equipped with everything you need to develop your theoretical and practical skills to full potential. As you become a more independent learner, our approach focuses on learning ‘how to think’ – not ‘what to think’. These key skills offer exceptional preparation for university study and employment. Our enriched learning opportunities can include: Talks and events at Cambridge Science Festival and at the Society for Chemical Industry (SCI) UK Chemistry Olympiad Lectures at the University of Cambridge Cambridge Chemistry Challenge Youth STEMM Award
GCSE grades (or equivalent) Subject 1: Chemistry: 6+ or Science Double Award: 77+ Subject 2: Mathematics: 6+ Subject 3: English Language: 5 (CEFR B2.2) Grade 7+ in either GCSE Chemistry or Mathematics is required
A Level assessment Paper 1: Periodic table, elements and physical Chemistry assesses content from modules 1, 2, 3 and 5 (2 hours 15 minutes) worth 37% of the total mark. Paper 2: Synthesis and analytical techniques assesses content from modules 1, 2, 4 and 6 (2 hours 15 minutes) worth 37% of the total mark. Paper 3: Unified Chemistry assesses content from modules 1-6 (1 hour 30 minutes) worth 26% of the total mark. Non exam assessment: practical endorsement in Chemistry requires completion of 12 practical experiments.
