Chemistry occupies a central position among Science subjects. On the one hand it is linked with Physics through Physical Chemistry and on the other with Biology through Organic Chemistry. Chemistry A Level is a challenging course. Students are encouraged to be critical in their approach and to apply intriguing ideas in a variety of areas taken from the three branches of Chemistry: Physical, Inorganic and Organic. All work is directly related to a range of contexts in the real world, from environmental concerns to nano-chemistry.
• An enjoyment of, and an interest in, Chemistry • A minimum of Grade B in each of Science and Additional Science at GCSE or Grade B in Chemistry, plus a Grade B or higher in GCSE Mathematics • A need for a qualification in Chemistry for your future course or career • A readiness to accept a challenge.
There is no coursework on this course. However, performance during practicals will be assessed. The AS has two exams at the end of the year. Both are 1 hour 30 minutes long. There are three exams at the end of the two years for A-level, all of which are two hours long. At least 15% of the marks for A-level Chemistry are based on what you learned in your practicals.
