What will I be doing? The first year of the course covers the three main strands of chemistry: inorganic, organic and physical, with a focus on practical work which teaches the use of chemicals and their related hazards. Topics covered include atomic structure and the periodic table, bonding and structure, the fundamentals of organic chemistry, energetic and chemical kinetics and the part they all play in industrial chemistry. The second year of the course covers the three main strands of chemistry: inorganic, organic and physical, with a focus on practical work which teaches the use of chemicals and their related hazards. Topics covered include atomic structure and the periodic table, bonding and structure, organic chemistry, transition metal chemistry, energetics, chemical kinetics and equilibria. How will success help me to continue with my education or secure a good career? An A level in chemistry will enable you to follow a range of courses at university, such as pure chemistry, biochemistry, biomedical sciences and pharmacy. Students wishing to study medicine must pass chemistry A level, usually with a Grade A.
Grade 7 in GCSE additional science or Grade 6 in GCSE chemistry, plus Grade 5 in GCSE mathematics and Grade 5 in GCSE English language or literature
The course is assessed by three written examinations at the end of Year 13. There are also compulsory core practicals which students must pass in order to qualify to sit their written examinations.
