Chemistry is sometimes known as the “central science” because it helps to connect physical sciences, like maths and physics, with applied sciences, like biology, medicine and engineering. All that questioning and experimentation can be really handy when it comes to building a whole range of skills for work. Chemistry helps you to develop research, problem solving and analytical skills. It helps to you challenge ideas and show how you worked things out through logic and step-by-step reasoning. Chemistry often requires teamwork and communication skills too, which is great for project management. Chemistry will help you get ahead in most STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) careers and more besides. It is an important subject for careers in medicine, environmental science, engineering, toxicology, developing consumer products, metallurgy (studying how metals behave), space exploration, developing perfumes and cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, energy, teaching, science writing, software development and research.
The aim of the process is to identify potential. FIC is looking for well-rounded pupils with a genuine interest in education in the broadest sense of the word, with interests that stretch beyond the confines of the academic curriculum. The School has strong traditions in community activities and sport. There are many extracurricular activities, all of which are important in developing a well-balanced, confident individual. No specific preparation for an entrance tests is needed; all candidates start on an equal footing, with identical opportunities to display their academic aptitude.
