What the college says

Ever wondered why copper sulphate is blue, not red; why most reactions give out heat; how we can get electricity by joining two metals together; how water can evaporate well below its boiling point? Then maybe the rigorous, challenging and ultimately rewarding Chemistry is for you. A-level Chemistry is widely regarded as a facilitating subject and by choosing facilitating subjects at advanced level, you will have a much wider range of options open to you at university. An advanced level qualification in any facilitating subject will keep open to you a number of degree courses. The course provides something for everyone and could lead to studying a degree course in Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Mathematics and Pharmacology. A Level Chemistry is also useful for students wanting to pursue a career as a clinical biochemist, pharmacologist, doctor, research scientist (physical sciences), chartered certified accountant or many others.
