In A-Level Chemistry you will be looking at the properties and behaviour of elements and compounds in various ways. There are 6 units to the A Level which cover organic, inorganic and physical elements of chemistry. Theoretical and practical elements are both taught and assessed. As the course develops you will be using principles, theories and practical skills to find out and understand more about chemistry and chemicals. Reference is frequently made to the “real world” and how chemistry fits in. Chemistry looks at the use of chemicals and energy, creating new substances and employing the fundamentals of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry.
The A Level begins with you looking at the properties and behaviour of elements and compounds in various ways: Theory, practical, numerical analysis, bulk properties, molecular properties, bonding patterns, spectroscopy, polymers, energetics. As the course develops you will be using principles, theories and practical skills to find out and understand more about chemistry and chemicals. Reference is frequently made to the “real world” and how chemistry fits in. At the conclusion of A2 virtually 100% of students pass and go on to University.

Why study Chemistry?
If you’re intrigued by experiments
and like to see how the world works, then chemistry is a great subject to
pursue. Chemistry is very much an experimental science, dealing with the
properties of chemicals and energy. The main aims of chemists are to make new
substances, study their properties and then devise novel uses for them. To do
this, chemists employ the fundamentals of inorganic, organic and physical
chemistry.
When exploring the courses we have available, you may see a fee attached but you’re more than likely to be eligible for a fully-funded enrolment!
