Doing an A level in Chemistry can open so many doors for you in the future. It is seen, and quite rightly so, as a challenging, academic and rigorous A level that will impress many universities and employers. A good grade in Chemistry shows that you are numerate, analytical and practical and have good problem solving skills. An A level in Chemistry can lead to many careers other than in the chemical industry such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, but is also extremely useful in careers in the biological sciences, physics, mathematics and even law. It is challenging but will suit the inquisitive and eager pupil. You could of course study chemistry just because you enjoy it!
The specification assumes that candidates taking Chemistry have achieved Grade 6 or above in GCSE/ iGCSE Chemistry and one other science or a Grade 6 at Combined Science. The level of Maths in the course does not require Maths A level although due to the Maths components within the A level pupils would normally have achieved Grades 7 in Maths and Chemistry or Combined Science at GCSE. An important attribute to possess is to have an open mind and to be willing to grasp ideas and concepts that challenge our previous thinking.
Topics: Inorganic and Organic chemistry with relevant physical chemistry and relevant practical skills. Three written examinations: 2 x 1hr 45 minutes and 1 x 2hr 30 minutes
