Chemistry

Course summary

Chemistry is for anyone curious about reactions in the world around them, from the chemistry in their body's cells to controlling the breakdown of plastics in the environment. The study of Chemistry overlaps with other subjects such as Maths (calculations), Biology (Biological molecules), and Physics (Atomic structure and isotopes). Chemistry comprises many specialised fields and interacts with all other areas of Science. The Chemistry course has been developed to build on the knowledge gained at GCSE, adding depth and breadth. Chemistry is a great choice of subject for people who want a career in health and clinical professions, such as medicine, nursing, biochemistry, or forensic science. It will also equip you for a career in industry, for example in the petrochemical or pharmaceutical industries.
