Chemistry is the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes. A qualification in chemistry demonstrates that you have good analytical skills, the ability to learn high-level information and an organized and logical approach to problem-solving and practical situations. A Level of Chemistry can lead to university courses in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, dentistry, forensic science, food science, pharmacy, medicine, nursing, veterinary science and many other specialized courses.
5 x GCSEs at A*-C or grades 9-4, including grade 5 English languages, grade 6 mathematics, grade 6/6 combined science or grade 6 chemistry
To attain an A Level you will be examined on year 1 and year 2 content. Assessment will be covered by three examination papers in the summer of year 13. A Level Practical Endorsement (non examination) is reported separately as pass/fail. Candidates complete a minimum of 12 practical activities to demonstrate practical competence although as a practical course, you can expect to complete many more.
