Chemistry is the study of all chemical substances and how they can change. You will learn to understand these and see in new ways the things that make up the world; our food, fuels and fabrics, building materials and manufactured goods, the air we breathe, the tools we use. It is a varied and exciting subject which uses many skills developed during mainstream GCSE education. Students will need to have an interest and a clear scientific approach and sound analytical skills. It will be assumed for the purpose of teaching that most students undertaking the course will have sound GCSE knowledge in the subject. The Chemistry specification is made up of both Theoretical and Practical sessions. The Modules covered include: Module 1 – Development of practical skills in chemistry Module 2 – Foundations in chemistry Module 3 – Periodic table and energy Module 4 – Core organic chemistry Module 5 – Physical chemistry and transition elements Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis
Either GCSE Chemistry + one other GCSE Science at Grade 6, or Combined Science at Grade 6/6 is required to study A Level Chemistry GCSE Maths: Grade 6 GCSE English Language: Grade 6
2 x 135-minute written exams, each worth 37% of total A Level 1 x 90-minute written exam worth 26% of total A Level There are also practical skill assessments throughout the course.
