Studying Chemistry at A level will enable you to cover the fundamentals of Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry in more detail. As a science subject, you will learn how to be objective and develop problem solving and analytical skills. It helps you to challenge ideas and derive solutions by using logic and step-by-step reasoning. Chemistry requires teamwork and communication skills and there will be lots of opportunities to develop practical skills over the two-year course. Your specialist teachers will make the course engaging and enjoyable. They have a variety of industrial work experience between them and will be able to give relevance to the topics covered from their own personal careers. As part of the A Level course you may go on trips or attend lectures on topics covered in the course which will give you an insight into careers related to the applications of Chemistry. . Year 12 Module 1 – Development of practical skills in Chemistry Module 2 – Foundations in Chemistry Module 3 – Periodic table and energy Module 4 – Core organic Chemistry Year 13 Module 5 – Physical Chemistry and transition elements Module 6 – Organic Chemistry and analysis
You will need to achieve a grade 8 or above in GCSE Chemistry and a grade 7 or above in Mathematics.
The course will be assessed with 3 exams at the end of Year 13. • (01) Periodic table, elements and Physical Chemistry 100 marks 2 hours 15 minutes written paper (37%) • (02) Synthesis and analytical techniques 100 marks 2 hours 15 minutes written paper (37%) • (03) Unified Chemistry 70 marks 1 hour 30 minutes written paper (26%) The Practical Endorsement in Chemistry is assessed throughout the course and will be reported on the A Level certificate.
