COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Some the aims of the AQA Advanced Level GCE in Chemistry are to develop; • Essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other • Competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem solving skills • A deep appreciation of the skills, knowledge and understanding of scientific methods • Their interest in and enthusiasm for the subject, including developing an interest in further study and careers associated with the subject • An understanding of how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society WHY CHEMISTRY? Chemistry is an exciting, relevant albeit challenging science, which provides answers to everyday questions through a practical and problem solving approach. A qualification in chemistry can lead to a wide variety of careers. It is a must if you are thinking of studying Medicine or Chemistry at University and is advantageous for the study of any science or engineering degree. A qualification in chemistry is highly valued and respected by both employers and Universities. It can help you gain entry into the top Universities.
