Course summary

Chemistry is an exciting branch of science that allows students to combine theoretical understanding with practical application in the laboratory. A wider understanding of science is underpinned by an understanding of chemistry. In fact, chemistry is known as the ‘central science’ because it connects with all other natural sciences, such as biology, physics, and geology. Students will develop analytical skills and applied numerical abilities through A-Level study of the subject.
