The study of Chemistry develops intellectual and practical skills. It will allow students to develop as independent thinkers with sharp problem-solving skills. This in turn provides a firm foundation for those progressing to a wide range of courses in higher education and ultimately, exceptional preparation for a large number of careers including Chemical Engineering, Medicine, Veterinary Science, Pharmacy, Law, Dentistry, Environmental Health, Commerce and many more far beyond the obvious careers of Research and Industry.
Entry to the Sixth Form is dependent on GCSE or equivalent qualifications, and a reference from the candidate’s current school. Students require 6 GCSE subjects at grade 6 or higher, with at least a grade 6 in each of your chosen A Level subjects. For some subjects a grade 7 at GCSE is required.
