At A level, students study the AQA Chemistry specification, which covers topics ranging from the chemistry that occurs inside your phone battery, to that of DNA and anti-cancer drugs. The course consists of three disciplines which are taught throughout the two years: Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Chemistry is a challenging and rewarding subject that develops scientific skills and knowledge. Students will be given the tools to learn about the more abstract nature of the world around them. The analytical and problem-solving skills acquired through studying chemistry are essential in both scientific and non-scientific university courses. The subject is best studied alongside at least one other science and/or maths. Possible career pathways for chemists include medicine, pharmaceutical research, materials science, veterinary sciences, forensics, patent law, scientific journalism, and teaching, among many others.
A minimum of a grade 7 in GCSE combined science is required; although students achieving a 6 may also be considered. Although chemistry as a separate science at GCSE is not required, it does offer an excellent foundation for year 1 of the A-level.
Content is examined at the end of year 13 with three 2 hour papers, drawing on aspects from each discipline as well as practical work completed throughout the two years. Practical work also contributes towards the cross-board endorsement of practical skills; a must for any aspiring scientist.
