• The course is divided into three sections: Organic , Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. It builds upon the foundations of GCSE Chemistry and extends it to include: • How Chemistry relates to industry, including chemical calculations • Synthesis of organic compounds and their reaction mechanisms • Reactivity patterns in the Periodic Table, analytical techniques and basic Biochemistry • How to carry out a range of essential practical techniques. The course is intensive and requires a strong element of independent study. You will need to learn a significant body of work and apply this both qualitatively and quantitatively. Therefore, it is vital that you have a good grasp of mathematics. You need to be an independent student with the ability to problem solve.
5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above including English with a minimum grade 6 in Chemistry (or 6-6 Combined Science) and Maths. It would also be helpful to study A-Level Maths but this is not essential. Due the popularity of the subject at OSA, a cap on the number of students entering the course may be required. In this case, priority will be given to students with the highest GCSE science grades.
The course is assessed by 3 exams at the end of the two year course. In addition, students will have to carry out ongoing practical work, over the two years, which will be assessed as part of the practical endorsement.
