An A Level in Chemistry will provide you with a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of chemical reactions. You will develop knowledge in how substances interact and carry out detailed calculations to enable preparation of formulations for use in medical and industrial applications. You will become confident in a range of analytical and practical skills to prepare you fully. In the first year of the course students will study: • Physical Chemistry, including advanced structure, bonding and kinetics • Inorganic Chemistry, including patterns and trends (periodicity) • Organic Chemistry, including nomenclature, isomerism and mechanisms During the first year there are six required practical experiments that must be taken in class which will provide evidence towards the practical endorsement. In the second year students will build on Year 1 knowledge and study: • Physical Chemistry, including Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry Transition Metals • Organic Chemistry, including Aromatic Chemistry and Organic Synthesis During the second year a further six required practical experiments must be undertaken to complete the practical endorsement.
Either GCSE Chemistry Grade 6 or Combined Science 6–6 (from Trilogy) Also a Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics (high Grade 5 considered).
Paper One - Inorganic and Physical Chemistry topics • 2 hours • 105 marks • 35% of A Level Paper Two - Organic and Physical Chemistry topics • 2 hours • 105 marks • 35% of A Level Paper Three - Practical skills and all topics, plus multiple choice section • 2 hours • 90 marks • 30% of A Level
