A Level Chemistry will give you an exciting insight into the contemporary world of chemistry. It covers the key concepts of chemistry and practical skills are integrated throughout the course. This combination of academic challenge and practical focus makes the prospect of studying A-level chemistry highly appealing. You will learn about chemistry in a range of different contexts and the impact it has on industry and many aspects of everyday life. The course will develop your investigative and problem-solving skills using a wide range of different scenarios. Modules include: ● Atoms, compounds, molecules and equations enthalpy, entropy and free energy ● Amount of substance redox and electrode potentials ● Acid-base and redox reactions transition elements ● Electrons, bonding and structure organic chemistry ● The periodic table and periodicity polymers ● Group 2 and the halogens organic synthesis ● Reaction rates and equilibrium analytical techniques (IR and MS) ● pH and buffers ● Chromatography and spectroscopy (NMR)
5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including GCSE English Language and Mathematics. GCSE Science grade 66 (combined science) or GCSE Chemistry grade 6 (separate).
AS: 100% by examination. You will sit two exams at the end of Year 1. A Level: 100% by examination. You will sit three exams at the end of Year 2. There is no coursework, but you must complete twelve assessed practicals to achieve a Practical Endorsement Certificate. To achieve a Practical Endorsement you will be expected through a range of experiments to display your competency in: ● Following procedures. ● Applying an investigative approach when using instruments and equipment. ● Working safely. ● Making and recording observations. ● Researching, referencing, and reporting.
