A-Level Chemistry is a challenging and rewarding subject that gives you a detailed insight into the key concepts that underpin our understanding of the chemical world. It will develop your problem solving, numeracy, communication, and analysis skills. Areas covered include synthesis of organic compounds used in pharmacology, development of an understanding of thermodynamics used in petrochemicals, and the electrochemistry fundamental to our development of more efficient cells and energy storage. Course content • Module 1: Development of practical skills, this spans both years of the course and results in the potential awarding of a “practical endorsement”, it is also assessed throughout all modules; • Module 2: Foundations in chemistry, this covers the fundamental concepts and calculations required for the remaining modules, it will be assumed knowledge within all further modules; • Module 3: Periodic table and energy explores trends within the periodic table and how chemists investigate the energetics and kinetics of chemical reactions both experimentally and theoretically; • Module 4: Core organic chemistry and analysis, in which you discover the key reactions of alkenes, alcohols, and haloalkanes, and learn the synthetics routes to convert between these compounds. • Module 5: Physical chemistry and transition elements, having established the fundamentals within year 1 of the course, this module will explore acids, buffers, entropy, and electrochemistry in detail; • Module 6: Organic chemistry and analysis, this will introduce aromatic chemistry, spectroscopy, as well as the chemistry of biologically important molecules such as amino acids.
Minimum grade 6 GCSE Chemistry or minimum 6/6 in Combined Science GCSE, minimum grade 4 in GCSE English and minimum grade 5 in GCSE Maths.
