A Level Chemistry

A Level chemistry is a great subject for students who have a thirst for understanding the world on an atomic level. It lays the groundwork for further study in courses such as chemistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and much more. A level chemistry is highly regarded by universities due to the level of challenge and application pupils will experience. A passion for chemistry is a must, as the hard work required in this course can only be met by those who have a love for the subject.

This course looks at the three fundamental areas of chemistry (physical, organic and inorganic), making sure students gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of this fascinating subject. Over the two years, there is progression from Year 12 to Year 13 as the topics covered in Year 12 are built upon in Year 13. Throughout the course, students will learn new skills through the practical endorsement: this will allow them to understand how the processes and results obtained in these practicals feed into the theory of the course. These transferable skills will not only benefit students' understanding within chemistry but also in any further study they choose to partake

You will develop your knowledge and understanding through a combination of theory based and practical sessions in the classroom and laboratory.

This is an exam based course:
