Chemistry is structured as a linear course split into six modules over two years. Module 1 relates to practical skills which are assessed throughout the written examinations and also through the Practical Endorsement during the second year. In Module 2 you are introduced to the foundations of Chemistry, including atoms, compounds, molecules and equations, amount of substance, acid-base and redox reactions as well as electronic structure. You will then apply these principles and theories to exciting topics such as periodicity and qualitative analysis in Module 3 and alcohols, haloalkanes and organic synthesis in Module 4. In the Upper Sixth you will complete the remaining two modules. Module 5 covers topics such as reaction rates and equilibrium, pH and buffers as well as entropy, free energy and transition elements. Module 6 covers advanced organic chemistry including nitrogen compounds, spectroscopy and hydrocarbon. WHY STUDY CHEMISTRY?
