Chemistry A level
Course summary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wSfkj3cuVk&list=PLoj-70oAyNB1ZsGkGiitrC8xXh53QgLvB&index=19 Chemistry is the study of matter, it’s properties and how it interacts with energy. Chemistry can lead to many career paths from chemical engineering, forensics, toxicology to biochemistry and research. It is also a prerequisite for degrees such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary sciences and pharmacology. Chemistry is viewed very favourably by top universities and employers and so it is very advantageous even if you decide not to follow a chemistry related degree. The A level chemistry course delves deeper into many of the topics covered in GCSE such as bonding, organic molecules and trends in the periodic table, allowing you to understand how substances behave at an even more complex level, whilst introducing you to new areas of chemistry such as spectroscopy and enthalpy. Chemistry will not only develop your knowledge and practical skill set but it will enable you to enhance your analytical and problem solving skills.
