e study of Chemistry provides both a fascinating insight into the world around us, and the essential tools for meeting the biggest challenges of the 21st century. e A-Level course builds on ideas covered at GCSE, but goes much further, encouraging students to consider not just what happens during chemical reactions, but why substances behave the way they do. e rst year, which is the same as the AS course, begins by covering fundamental principles that will underpin the subject, before moving onto core physical, inorganic and organic topics. e second year of the course continues along these lines, but you will explore ideas in much greater depth, while also being introduced to new concepts such as NMR spectroscopy, chemical synthesis, free energy, and many more. Chemistry is, fundamentally, a practical subject, so the course is taught with a strong emphasis on experimental work, allowing you to use your observations to bring the theory to life, and contributing to completion of the Practical Endorsement.
• A minimum of seven I/GCSEs at grade 9-7. • /GCSEs at grade 9 or 8 in the subjects being studied at A-level, if studied to I/GCSE. To study an A-level subject not on offer at I/GCSE, I/GCSE at grade 9 or 8 in a similar subject is strongly recommended. • To study A-levels in Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, grade 9 in the subject(s) at I/GCSE is strongly recommended. • To study A-level Further Mathematics, grade 9 at I/GCSE Mathematics is required. Grade 9 or 8 in AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics is strongly recommended.
Subject content: Modules 1-4 of the A Level, as in Lower-Sixth content, above Paper 1: Breadth in Chemistry (Written exam: 1 hour 30 minutes) • Includes 20 multiple-choice questions • Total: 70 marks, 50% of AS Level Paper 2: Depth in Chemistry (Written exam: 1 hour 30 minutes) • Includes two ‘Level of Response’ questions • Total: 70 marks, 50% of AS Level Both components assess content from all four modules, and will contain synoptic assessment.
