What will you do on this course? The aims of the course are: To develop a sound knowledge of Chemistry. To develop an appreciation of the contribution which Chemistry makes to society. To promote an enjoyment of and interest in Chemistry. The course content is divided into six modules: Module 1 – Development of practical skills in Chemistry. Module 2 – Foundations in Chemistry. Module 3 – Periodic table and energy. Module 4 – Core Organic Chemistry. Module 5 – Physical Chemistry and Transition Metals. Module 6 – Organic Chemistry and analysis. Modules 1 – 4 are covered in the first year and all of the modules are completed by the end of the course. Practical work is an integral part of the delivery and is supplemented by a day at Bristol University doing experiments in the undergraduate laboratories.
For entry to the Sixth Form, students must gain at least 5 A*-C grades at GCSE, especially in the subjects they wish to continue studying (if applicable). Students considering the International Baccalaureate Diploma or the AQA Baccalaureate, will need at least a GCSE grade A*-C in Maths and English.
How will you be assessed? At A Level there are three exam papers which cover the whole course content. 15% of the exam questions relate to practical work. There is no coursework, but a series of experiments are completed over the two years leading to award of the Practical Endorsement certificate.
