Chemistry (A-Level)

A-Level

What happens when sugar dissolves in tea? Why is mercury a liquid at room temperature? How do we make plastics? What can we do about global warming? How will we be affected if oil runs out? From baking a cake to recharging a mobile phone, chemistry is involved in everything we do; and everyone’s life is inextricably influenced by many aspects of chemistry. The subject will continue to be at the forefront of responding to the needs of society, with chemists central to making advances in designing new materials, efficient energy use, drug development, and technology for many years to come. Chemistry is essential for progressing to university to study medicine, dentistry or veterinary science. The course builds upon the strong foundation developed in GCSE chemistry, science and mathematics to introduce further ideas and concepts in physical and organic chemistry.

Entry Requirements

Students will need a minimum of three grade 4s and three grade 5s at GCSE including a grade 5 in English and Maths as well as a grade 6 in Chemistry.
