Chemistry is a vibrant and exciting subject. It is involved in everything around us - from the making of new materials to understanding biological systems, from the food we eat to the medicines which keep us healthy, and from the quality of the water we drink to keeping the air we breathe pure. The chemical and allied industries - fuels, pharmaceuticals, fragrances - are the most important manufacturing industries to the UK economy, recording trade surpluses of more than £4 billion each year. The industries employ large numbers of chemists in research, development, sales, marketing and management and a chemistry A-level will allow you to pursue a career in any of these areas and other besides, as a facilitating subject for many Higher Education courses.
Students need a good numerical and literacy grounding to support them in their studies as well as strong foundations across the full range of sciences. Trilogy (new double) or Separate (triple) sciences should have been studied at GCSE and students will need to have achieved a 6/6 in their Trilogy science and maths exams (or a 6 in Chemistry), as well as a 4 in English.
