Course summary

The course gives learners many opportunities to develop the fundamental skills needed to understand the nature of Chemistry. All students are taught by two teachers who divide the specification between them on a topic basis, each exploring different key concepts of Advanced Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. Within the six modules, the topics covered include spectroscopy, kinetics, equilibria and acids in Physical Chemistry. Inorganic Chemistry includes d-block elements, ligands and the Periodic Table. Organic Chemistry explores different functional groups, understanding mechanisms of reactions and organic synthesis. Chemistry is a highly analytical and practical subject. It is useful to have strong mathematical skills in order to achieve good understanding of the A Level course. Practical skills are embedded throughout the specification and learners are required to develop a range of practical skills throughout the course in preparation for the final written examinations. This qualification gives students opportunities to use a wide range of apparatus and techniques to develop and demonstrate the required specific practical skills.
