Throughout the course you will be challenged in the three main disciplines within the subject. Physical chemistry encompasses the behaviour of matter and how we can measure and dispense chemicals accurately, to allow our desired reactions to take place safely and successfully. Inorganic chemistry follows the intricate patterns of Mendeleev’s masterpiece, the periodic table. You will learn to interpret the subtle rules that allow us to make sense of the known 118 chemical elements and begin to understand how and why they are arranged in their specific order. Finally, you will study organic chemistry, the specific chemistry of carbon and how it ranges from simple compounds found in crude oil, petrol and gas, to extremely complicated molecules of life such as condensation polymers and peptide chains. You will develop your practical skills through plenty of laboratorybased experiments; you will use your mathematical skills to solve problems in a classroom or workshop environment and you will also be introduced to modern analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to elucidate unique chemical structures. The real-life applications of these skills are numerous. If you want to study Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy or Veterinary Science then Chemistry is essential. An understanding of chemistry is desirable for the study of many subjects and is valued highly by universities.
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including grade 6 or above in chemistry or combined science. Mathematics at grade 6 or above and English Language or Literature at grade 5 or above.
