As the study of all the elements and their compounds, Chemistry is both conceptually challenging and requires good factual knowledge. Chemistry looks at all of the elements in the Periodic Table, both on a molecular and macroscopic level. It is regarded as the 'central science' that connects many other areas together. New breakthroughs in fields such as genetics, biochemistry, medicine, materials, nanotechnology and drug discovery are all driven by chemistry. Chemistry is about matter. The molecules that are all around us and how they change and interact with each other. A study of Chemistry helps make many observable everyday phenomena far less mysterious. As an A level student of Chemistry, you can expect to cover all of the fundamentals that make up the three core areas of Chemistry: Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry. Most importantly, Chemistry is a fascinating and ever-evolving subject; driven constantly both by new experimental discovery and advances made by theoreticians. If you want to fully understand the workings of the world around you then Chemistry is for you.
Sixth Form applicants are expected to achieve a minimum of six subjects in Grades 9 to 5 (including Mathematics and English) at GCSE, or international equivalent. Students are expected to have at least Grade 6 at GCSE in the subjects they wish to study at A level. Students wishing to take Further Mathematics at A level must have a Grade 8 in Mathematics at GCSE.
