Chemistry

Course summary

Chemistry offers you the chance to extend your GCSE knowledge and really explore the subject through developing a logical approach to problem solving as well as developing your ability to understand abstract principles. The course encourages imaginative and critical thinking and develops your skills in laboratory procedures. It is in many ways a fundamental science and so highly valued by many universities and employers because of the skill set that you acquire. Chemistry combines well with other science and with mathematics. The course is designed to provide you with a broad understanding of chemical processes in a variety of different contexts. Class discussion will give you an understanding of the theory, but you will also regularly be putting the theory into practice by doing practical work in our excellent laboratory facilities.
