The course aims to develop interest in Chemistry in particular, but also in science generally, whilst preparing students for employment or further studies. Confidence in laboratory skills will be developed and safe practice is stressed as being essential. The course also aims to develop the key skills of problem solving, communication, application of number, working with others and information technology. It may be important to note that at many universities, courses in Medicine, Biological Science or Medical Sciences require Chemistry to at least AS Level. A Level Art is a significant step up from GCSE Art and offers you the opportunity to study this subject in much greater depth and detail. A Level opens up a wider range of opportunities, media and tools to use. Our experienced and specialist teachers will guide you through various techniques and media to explore your creative potential. Students can expect one practical per week on average. Year 12 covers AS Content including development of practical skills; foundations in chemistry covering concepts required throughout the remaining modules, periodic table & energy and core organic chemistry. Year 13 covers physical chemistry, transition elements, organic chemistry and analysis Chemistry is an essential requirement for applications in medicine, dentistry and veterinary studies and a highly regarded qualification.
