A-level Chemistry

A-level chemistry is a stepping stone to future study, which is why we also consulted universities to ensure these specifications allow students to develop the skills that they want to see. This approach has led to specifications that will support you to inspire students, nurture a passion for chemistry and lay the groundwork for further study in courses like chemistry and medicine.

Course details

1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table

2 Bonding and Structure

3 Amount of Substance

4 Energetics

5 Kinetics

6 Chemical Equilibria

7 Redox and Electrochemistry

8 Inorganic Chemistry

How Will it be Delivered?

The course will be delivered through teacher led lessons, practical investigations, problem solving practice and independent study. Students’ progress will be monitored through regular assessment and independent learning. This is monitored throughout the course.

Assessment:

A level chemistry is assessed by three exam papers at the end of year 13. Marks are divided equally between the three. Topics are split between paper 1 and paper 2. Paper 3 will examine practical techniques and data analysis.

Five grade 5s in your GCSEs.

Completing A Level Chemistry opens up many exciting opportunities. You can progress to university degrees such as Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy, Biochemistry, or Environmental Science. There are also degree apprenticeships in laboratory science, pharmaceuticals, or materials development. If you prefer to go straight into work, Chemistry provides strong skills for careers in healthcare, research, product development, and quality control. The analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills you’ve developed are highly valued in both science and non-science careers.
