Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, and how and why substances combine or separate to form other substances. It also involves the study of how these substances interact with energy. The Chemistry course is split into two main sections: physical chemistry and organic chemistry. In physical chemistry there is a strong mathematical focus as you develop an understanding of quantities of atoms and energy. In organic chemistry you will learn how to synthesise many of the molecules we encounter in everyday life.
To study at RSFC, you must have achieved a minimum of five GCSEs or equivalent at grade 4 or above across four separate subjects, including GCSE Mathematics and/or English Language. In addition, a grade 6 or above is required in Chemistry or a grade 6-6 in combined science, both on the higher tier. You must also achieve a grade 5 or above in Mathematics and a grade 4 or above in English Language.
You will complete three examinations at the end of the two-year course. These examinations provide your final grade. The practical experiments that you will complete throughout the course will contribute to a practical skills certificate.
