Chemistry is exciting and challenging. Studying A Level Chemistry is a route for some fantastic career opportunities in the areas of Science, Medicine and Engineering. Challenges facing society today can often be overcome with the work of chemists. Chemistry helps us to live more sustainably, contributing towards the development of renewable and low carbon energy sources. Synthesis of organic molecules can help us to develop pharmaceuticals and improve human health in a changing world. Chemistry is fundamentally an experimental subject. The A level AQA specification provides numerous opportunities to use practical experiences to link theory to reality, and equip students with the essential practical skills they need. The AQA A level Chemistry course is split into 3 distinct topics; Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry, therefore a wide range of skills are needed and also will be taught over the 2 years of study.
• Achieving 5 Grade 5s including GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics • Grade 5 in GCSE Chemistry • Grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics • Grade 6 in combined Science/Triple Chemistry
There are 3 papers for A level Chemistry. Exams include: specified content tested in each of the first two papers to help students prepare for their exams; a variety of assessment styles so students can confidently engage with the questions; multiple choice questions, which allow for a wide breadth of the chemistry from the specifications to be tested; Unit 1 Key Concepts in Science. (33% Exam) Unit 2 Applied experimental techniques. Portfolio. (33% internally assessed) Unit 3 Science in the Modern World. (33% Exam)
