The course encourages students to; Develop essential knowledge and understanding of the concepts of Chemistry and the skills needed for their use in new and changing situations; Develop an understanding of the link between theory and experiment; Sustain and develop their enjoyment and interest in Chemistry and bring together knowledge of ways in which different areas of Chemistry relate to each other. We have close links to the University of Bath Chemistry Department. During U6, students undertake a project to synthesise and purify aspirin after which we visit the university to analyse this aspirin sample using their computerised instrumental technology. During lessons, the mysteries of GCSE Chemistry are unravelled and we get a chance to use a wider range of chemicals and equipment making practicals more interesting and challenging. The course also delves deeper into areas of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, with topics on enzymes and proteins, DNA and the action of anti-cancer drugs. During the course, a way of thinking is developed which can help in everyday situations and can also increase your awareness of chemicals in the environment around you. It is not a course to be taken lightly, but it is very enjoyable.
Level 7 in Chemistry or Level 7:7 in dual award Science. Level 7 in GCSE Mathematics.
Paper 1: Relevant Physical and Inorganic Chemistry. Paper 2: Relevant Physical and Organic Chemistry. Paper 3: Covers all units and represents 30% of the A Level. In addition to their A Level grade, students will also work to obtain a practical skills endorsement – pass or fail.
