Chemistry

Course summary

First Year: You will study the three main branches of chemistry: Physical Chemistry which deals with the principles behind chemical change, Inorganic Chemistry which involves studying the structure and bonding of elements in the periodic table, and Organic Chemistry which is about the chemistry of carbon (two million carbon compounds are known!). You will carry out a series of practical activities designed to illustrate what you are learning in theory lessons as well as teach you laboratory skills. Second Year: Some new aspects are introduced and others are extended. You will be introduced to the concept of chemical synthesis and progress to learn more advanced practical and laboratory skills.
