Chemistry is an ever-expanding discipline, and while the nature of atoms and their interactions have remained unchanged since the dawn of time, our understanding of the laws that govern these interactions and the implications of this on our everyday lives is forever moving forward. One in every five pounds in the UK economy is dependent on developments in chemistry research, supporting over 6 million jobs according to a report commissioned by the Royal Society of Chemistry. We as a country need excellent chemists, and studying A-level chemistry at GSAL will give you a taste of the plethora of ways in which this exciting subject touches our lives. Whether this takes you on to study chemistry further or helps open other doors, A-level Chemistry is the ideal choice for those who have enjoyed the challenge of their GCSE course. Over the two years, we will develop ideas introduced at GCSE, expanding into the three broad disciplines of organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry. Practical work forms a fundamental part of what we do, and we use our in-house lab book of 30 varied practicals to expand on the 12 compulsory experiments required at this level, allowing students to develop confidence with a wide range of techniques both practical and analytical. A suitable candidate will need to be confident with all that they studied at GCSE, particularly the mathematical aspects. Chemistry is considered by some to be one of the most challenging subjects, but if you flourished at GCSE then A-level Chemistry will reward you with a qualification that holds great currency both with universities and employers.
