What the college says

A2 Chemistry:Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes at the atomic and molecular level. The course we follow is AQA Chemistry. It has been designed to introduce learners to chemistry by revising and building on the basics of the atom. This gives the foundation which enables the harder concepts to be understood much more quickly and easily. Practical chemistry is an essential feature of study at A-level and lots of new techniques will be encountered and perfected. Learners who enjoy making sense of abstract concepts will find the study of chemistry stimulating. The real joy of chemistry is in applying your understanding of scientific models to lots of new situations and in linking up ideas in what is. Essentially a huge puzzle.
