Chemistry is an essential subject for anyone who wants a career in medicine, veterinary science and biochemistry. It is also very useful for dentistry, forensic science, and even accountancy. It will equip you for a career in industry; for example, in the petrochemical or pharmaceutical industries. A Level Chemistry helps you develop a number of skills including how to apply knowledge in new situations; how to assess data and accurately record observations; how to investigate facts using evidence, risk assessment, investigative, and practical laboratory skills. The course will also help you to develop logical, step-by-step reasoning.
Chemistry is one of the most challenging subjects to study at A Level. It is an impressive qualification to gain and is well regarded by universities. The course requires strong mathematical skills and an ability to apply these to complex scenarios. For this reason, it is helpful to have at least a 6 in Mathematics at GCSE. You will also need a minimum of a 6 in separate Chemistry GCSE or 7/6 grades in Combined Science. If you studied the Combined Science GCSE course there will be a small number of topics you will need to prepare over the summer holiday after GCSEs and during the first year of the course. We will help you with these.
Three 2 hour examinations: 1. 105 marks 35% of A Level. Physical and Inorganic Chemistry. Relevant practical skills. 2. 105 marks 35% of A Level. Physical and Organic Chemistry. Relevant practical skills. 3. 90 marks 30% of A Level. Any content and any practical skills.
