Module 2: Foundations in Chemistry 3. Module 3: Periodic Table and Energy 4. Module 4: Core Organic Chemistry Year 13 1. Module 1: Development of Practical Skills 5. Module 5: Physical Chemistry and Transition Elements 6. Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analysis Chemistry helps you develop research, problem-solving, and analytical skills. It helps you challenge ideas and how you work things out through logic and step-by-step reasoning. Chemistry often requires teamwork and communication skills. Chemistry will let you get ahead in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) careers. A student with A-level qualifications in Chemistry has a vast choice of subjects to study at university (e.g. Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Medicine, Dietetics, Environmental Sciences, Materials Science, Nursing and Midwifery, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Veterinary Science and Dentistry). A qualification in A-level Chemistry will enable a student to enter the world of work (e.g. Laboratory Technician, or Higher Education). Chemistry is an important subject for careers in medicine, environmental science, engineering, toxicology, developing consumer products, metallurgy, space exploration, developing perfumes and cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, energy, teaching, and science writing.
