From baking a cake to recharging a mobile phone, our lives are inextricably influenced by many aspects of Chemistry. Chemistry will continue to be at the forefront of responding to the needs of society, with chemists central to making advances in designing new materials, efficient energy use, drug development and technology. You will cover a wide variety of basic concepts such as the structure of the atom, structure and bonding in different materials, how to control reactions, patterns in the Periodic Table, electrochemical cells, chemical analysis, and synthesis of a range of organic compounds. You learn key skills, including the ability to plan and carry out experiments, collect data, and analyse and evaluate patterns and trends. Practical work will consolidate your theory work and build your skills and confidence.
Minimum of 5 GCSE grades at 9-4 or BTEC Distinction* - Pass. Students need to achieve a grade 6 in Maths and a grade 6/5 in Combined Science or a grade 6 in Chemistry. There will be bridging work to complete before starting the course in September. Students who do not meet these criteria, e.g. a 5/6 in Combined Science, will be considered on an individual basis. Due to the mathematical demands of the course, we recommend students also study A Level Mathematics.
