Chemistry helps us to understand the world in which we live and underpins a wide range of science-based degree courses and careers. This is a qualification which allows you to acquire not only high levels of numeracy and logic, but also analytical and practical skills which are highly attractive to a wide range of employers, not just within the scientific sector, but across all areas such as the Financial, Legal and Academic worlds. Students who take Chemistry pursue a variety of courses besides the most typical Physical and Biological Sciences.
Our usual entry requirement is a GCSE Level 7 or higher in the subject that you wish to study coupled with a raft of GCSE Level 6 and above results. If you wish to study Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths then a Level 7 or higher is required.
The final examinations will consist of three written papers all two hours in length. Paper 1 Examines the Physical and Inorganic Chemistry – 35% of the marks. Paper 2 Examines Physical and Organic Chemistry – 35% of the marks. Paper 3 Is synoptic but focused on the practical skills gained in the course - 30% of the marks. Practical The practical endorsement is a pass/fail qualification. Experiments covered in the lessons qualify you to develop the necessary skills in order to pass this. A good practical understanding is a vital part of the course and is examined extensively in the written papers.
