Who is the course for? This course is for students who want to continue studying chemistry after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics, but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. You might be choosing chemistry because you're headed for a scientific career, though it will give you skills such as analytical thought, problem solving and research that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too. What you’ll learn: The Chemistry course covers a wide range of topics, including organic, quantitative and periodic trends in addition to a wide range of physical chemistry topics. It is split into three papers: The first paper covers physical chemistry and periodic trends delving into energetics, thermodynamics and equilibrium. The second paper covers organic synthesis and analysis, encompassing a wide range of spectroscopic techniques as well as an extensive look into hydrocarbons and their properties. The third paper is synoptic and includes an element of practical techniques covered across the two year course. What subjects this goes with: Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths, Physics How you’ll learn: Classroom based learning What you can do next: The study of Chemistry gives you a range of transferrable skills, including analysis, practical and written communication. It opens doors to many different professions, as varied as medicine, engineering and law and is a highly academic subject sought after by prestigious universities for a huge number of courses. How to prepare for this course: Refresh your knowledge of the key areas of Chemistry and relevant skills you will need to use such as Atomic Structure, Graph skills, Unit conversions, Practical skills, Bonding, Rates of Reaction and Chemical calculations.
Assessment is through final examination at the end of the course. There will be 3 exam papers each of 2 hours duration. Exams will comprise short-answer, multiple choice, extended answer, critical analysis and questions on practical techniques. Practical skills are assessed throughout the course.
